i would call someone because the kids could get into the drugs and then you are left with what if i told someone this would of never happened and my cousin would still be here. i would either confront them or get them help or talk to one of thier grandparents see if you can get them in a safe enviroment. good luck to you. i hope the kids can have a better life and you are a good person to worry about their well being yes turning them in might cause problems but at least you will know the kids are safe.

That a hard one. Its not unusual for the father not to have much to do with the child. I dont see that living with her mother has anything to do with it, as its where alot of young parents live aso they have the support they need (aswell as it helping out with money). The drugs is his choice, but does it effect the child? If both parents are doing them, i would probably defanetly let someone know whats going on, just so it can be looked at, and Social services can see whats better off for the child.

Wow that is tough, is the grandmother involved? If so maybe it's not as bad as you think. You said yourself that they seem like good parents - if that is the case then you should have no complaint. My husband didn't change diapers either but that's no reason to call social services. Can you talk to your cousin first? Calling social services is a huge step - especially if you are wrong.

Well that decision is yours to make. Does her mother even have any idea with whats going on in her home? If shes allowing all this to happen, then I say call social services. Just remember what could happen if you do. The child could possibly be placed in child care, if then deemed the parents unfit to raise their child, then someone whos not in the family could take the child to raise until their 18. Calling social services can put the parents under supervision for awhile to see how they are raising the child and nothing could happen of it. They keep their kid and thats that. I say call if you have solid proof that something bad is really happening. Talk to your aunt and see if you can find out whats really going on before you go do something drastic.

You're considering calling social services because your cousin's boyfriend isn't a good father? What about your cousin's decent parenting? Are you going to disregard that? I wish people would stay out of other people's lives. Don't call social services on someone who isn't putting a child in danger. That's petty.

And what would you be telling social services? That the father doesn't change diapers? There are thousands of fathers who don't change diapers. As for the drugs you would have to have first hand PROOF of drug use (ie postive drug test, video/photos of him using) or he can sue YOU for defamation of character/slander/libel. Since you are not there 24/7 you have no clue as to what type of environment the child is growing up in. All you have at best is conjecture and the fact that the father doesn't change diapers...

Sorry honey but unless the baby is in danger nothing will happen. you say that they live with her mother what does she think. So she lives with a bum that is your cousins fault for sticking with him. Many fathers are like that many mothers are also like that. Just because he smokes weed doesn't mean he is harming the baby. In a perfect world we wish he would not do that but the world is far from perfect. Alcohol is also a drug and do you know how many babies grow up in homes where it is involved. Many professionals smoke weed on a daily basis and they are wonderful parents. I think you just don't like him and that is the reason. I think that unless you see him harming the baby that you should keep your nose out of it. It could get ugly...

Yes, they're well for the atmosphere. Carrot seeds are very tiny. When they're planted they most often finally end up developing too practically every and must be thinned out. Rather than throwing them away they're harvested. These child carrots are very soft and really candy. The sanding method is with no trouble lightly tumbling the carrots in a box containing a sand like combination and jogging water to take away the skinny dermis. Waste? Practically none. transparent

Have you talked to the grandma? Have you seen evidence of child abuse, or do you just have a feeling that the parents are doing drugs? You can call the police annonymously if you truly feel that the child is being abused and they will check it out. It's better to be safe than sorry.

speak to your cousin, tell her your concerns about the baby and her boyfriend.
but thats all you can do, if you think their is abuse going on to the child then call the police, but other then that, not alot you can do but express your concern to your cousin, sadly - not taking an active role in diaper/nappy changeing is not considered abuse as long as someone does it.
