should i call child services on my sister?

Question

she is using drugs.....

Answer 1

This one is hard to answer, She needs help yes she does but she needs to be sat down and talked to cause the hardest thing in the world to her would be is to have her children taken away from her and put in to foster homes cause that could be even more damaging to the kids being taken away from there mother would be tramatizing to them . It would or should be a definate wake up call for the mother if she was at least talked to and threatened if you don't get your act together and quite using drugs your children could be taken from you. If she loves her children and once shes talked to then i think she would choose children over the drugs but if not yes contact social services and tell them you suspect drug usage in the house and children may be neglected if she does not want to straighten up with your little talk to her.

Answer 2

the kids need help now they have nobody to protect them if mom is on drugs there is no telling who the kids are being around and that's just to dangerous make the call guilt free and be ready to take the children in if the child service officer removes them from the home.good luck

Answer 3

If you have to ask should you call cps on someone then maybe you really have no evidance other then hearsay. And if during a home visit which they will do if they can not find evidence that she is doing the drugs you claim nothing will be done. And how do I know this, because my stepdaughter told us her mom is doing meth and pot and drunk all the time they went to the house did a home visit and nothing came of it.

Answer 4

This is a question that you don't even need to ask.....you know the answer to it already. If there are children involved...definitely. Even if there are none...you need to for the sake of the sister as she needs help before she winds up dead or doing something stupid to get money for drugs.

Answer 5

you know its really hard when its family, but in this day and age, i just seen on news where a couple,used there 5 year old in there sex acts, gross Hun, or where the father and mother were having custody battle, so the father killed both children,or the one where they treated there daughter as a prisoner, put a shock collar on her ,because she peed her pant, made her wash clothes for 11 hours then drowned her in tub,do you wan ta wait till its to late, people are really sick and there getting worse and I'm sure drugs have helped, your choice you do what you think is right

Answer 6

Yes. I am biased, though. My aunt does the same thing. She has 2 kids, but my dad refuses to call social services, and I truly wish he would. She used to leave them in hotels and other places, because she was so high.

Answer 7

If you see she is neglecting the children and/or abusing them and the children are suffering because of her drug use and inability to be a mother, YES, I would definitely get involved for the sake of the children.

Answer 8

don't call the child services because she is your sister and she might not know what it can do to her so that you talk to her and tell her how feel and how you love her and that you don't want anything happen to her she might understand.

Answer 9

Yes! As a responsible adult you owe it to the children. Any adult who does not make a necessary report contributes to the abuse/neglect in their failure to report it. Good luck to you and God Bless you and those children and I pray your sister gets the help she needs and is receptive to it.

Answer 10

Yes. If she is using, then it is likely that her child is either being neglected or receiving inadequate care....at best. At worst, they could be in danger.
