My godchildren are 6 and 9. Their father has them every other weekend, he has a swimming pool and runs a industrial lawn company (big equipment). He hires lots of guys that may not be legal, knows very little about them and has high turnover.
He leaves the kids with these guys. I know he doesn't watch the kids the whole time they are in the pool. A month ago the hired hands killed a pig in front of the 6 and 9 year old, by shooting it 5 times (they counted!) slit it head to tail, drained the blood and gutted it. This didn't bother them which makes me wonder what else they have seen!
When the little one was 3 he said that "Daddy Ed said he could make the house go boom with you and Daddy Dan."
My friend is worried about reporting anything for fear that "Daddy Ed" will take the kids away. He is paying half the child support and none of the insurance. I am thinking of reporting him myself. Would you? How do I report?

You need to do something to protect these kids. Go to Child Protection Services. Even if he can't take the kids anymore he can't stop paying child support. They ARE and always will be his financial responsibility. Damn I know it can be bad but something has to be done before the kids get hurt. If he doesn't even care enough to watch them why is he even getting to see them?!? Also keep track of what the kids say and when they said it. It may be important later on.

You have to think of the children first. Sounds like to me the father isn't responsible enought to have the kids every other weekend. IF something were to happen you would blame yourself. You have to report him!
