What would you do if someone put their child in a laundry basket to sleep (baby)? cont.?

Question

this is why i ask...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 just not sanitary and i feel like i should do something i am really scared for this child.

Answer 1

wow cps needs to be called a child that age should be taken out of the home if it's unsanitary...preemies have enough problems when it comes to getting sick.....as fer the laundry basket..o well i guess is kinda like a generic moses basket but still a bit alarming since you can get a crib for about 40 bucks used... so heres the game plan
call cps and have the child removed
grandma gets custody
and wack job mommy and daddy are out the picture
then child has hope for the future
