a good friend of my moms just became a grandma, her son is 21 and the mother is 16 (yea) anyway since this child has been born these two have not really done anything for him, they litterally make his mom do and threaten her by saying if she doesnt she cant see him anymore. (both her son and the mother have behavior problems and have to be on meds) well the baby was born early and weighed a little over 4 lbs then instead of gaining he lost and ended up in the hospital, where neither of the parents stayed with him they made his mom once again. baby is 2 months old and they take him to the hospital at least once a week and MAKE them keep him, and they dont stay there. if any of that wasnt upsetting enough to anyone, the grandma isnt much better, they dont have a crib for him so he usually sleeps in his car seat, two nights ago she actually told my mom she put him in a laundry basket to sleep, they dont clean they have cat and dog poop all over the house, its not sanitary, what to do????

I second AR2. You must do what is right and it sounds like social services is a better place for this child than the home. Unfortunately, this situation does not sound that far-fetched to me; I have seen the same and worse. PLEASE do not let this poor child suffer any longer. BE STRONG and get this child to a safe place NOW. YOU have the power to do what is right. If you do nothing, you will regret it forever.

This sounds pretty far-fetched. If this is a legitimate question, the hospital, the grandmother, your mother, or yourself should have contacted Child Welfare/Childrens Services by now to have the child removed to a safe place. Make that phone call now, please.
