My son is 22 years old and involved with a 20 year old (Married) woman who has a 2 year old girl. She left her husband and her and her daughter are living with my son who lives next door to me. She is pregnant now and drinks alcohol, they ran out of oil and I found out the little girl was sleeping in her coat at night. I feel so bad for this little girl and my son and I have had some serious arguements about how they are living. He drinks every weekend and he is layed off from work now and his girlfriend is not working either. This past weekend my son and his friend got drunk and his friend came to my house and fell in to my Christmas tree and knocked it over, he was upset because my son was in a drunken rage. I went over to try and get him to get his friend out of my house and he screemed at me to get out and called me every name in the book. This little girl that is living there should not be subjected to this am I wrong for threating them that I will call the father.

You're basically stuck in the situation, you are mother and neighbor. What makes it your business is the fact that you don't have to be either one to want to protect an innocent child. You aren't the bad guy in this situation. Someone has to stand up for this helpless child and i'm sorry to say that it's going to have to be you. Just think of what you would want if you were this two year old!

I'm proud to see that there is still people out there that care. There's nothing wrong with you getting involved in your sons life especially if he lives right next door and acts a fool in your home. The little girl needs someone how will take good care of her if not she will grow up to have serious problems herself. I for one know how hard it is to get over a rough child hood. Contacting the father would be the best thing if you think he's going to be there for his daughter. Your son needs a huge wake up call that his life is out of control. Do they not realize that they are bringing another child into this bull?? Poor thing. Anyway, i wouldn't threaten i would pick up the phone and call the father asap. Your doing the right thing.

Call your local child protection services. She should be taken away and put at home with the father. Lock your door and do not let your son in your house or talk to him until he decides to straighten up, tough love. Is she pregnant with your son's child? Ask the child protection services if there is anything that can be done about her, maybe forced rehab?

You have to consider the child first. A 2 year old sleeping in her coat is NOT acceptable. I would call the baby's father. the mother will most likely lose custody, but that will be for the best

I dont get it why do you feel sorry for your son. If he was any kind of man he wouldnt let that little girl sleep in her coat cause shes cold. He has serious drinking problems and needs to go to rehab and get his **** straight. I would call the childs father she doesnt need to be living in these circumstances.

Is the father any kind of a better parent than the mother? If so, then call him.
Call up the government and have them send a social worker to evaluate everything. No one needs to know that you did it.
Is the mother pregnant with your grandchild or with a baby from her ex?

No, you are not wrong in your concern for the child. However, I would not call the father. That may start more internal trouble. Contact your local department for child services and alert them to the issue. They will take it from there.

Don't threaten to call the father, just do it. That child could die if you don't help out here.
Please get social services involved with the baby that's on the way as well, it pains me to say it, but they are not fit to be given the title of 'parent'.
Since they are not acting in the best interests of the child, you need to act on her behalf.
Good luck!

I would call CPS. Sometimes tough love is the way to straighten some people out. That little girl doesnt deserve that .
