She has three kids by different fathers. She doesn't work. She stays home with these kids all the time, and she acts like she hates them. She will do cruel things, but not abusive things. Like, she will buy new toys or take their toys and break them or set them up very high where the kids can't get them. She will make them eat raw veggies while she eats cookies and Happy Meals, just to tick them off. She puts them to bed at five o'clock at night and expects them to stay in bed until at least nine the next morning so she doesn't have to deal with them. If they get up, the get punished. She throws food at them, and dumps water on their heads and if they wet the bed she wno't change the sheets. She basically torments them, and punishes them when the react. But they are clean, well fed, disciplined, and she never hits them. And she only throws soft things like mashed potatoes at them. She also mimics them and makes them dress in really embarrasing clothes when they go out.

You should call CPS and at least make them aware of the situation. It sounds like these are little kids, not school age and they don't seem to be getting the love that they need. It is one thing to keep them clean, well feed, disciplined and not hit them. If she is throwing things at them now, whose to say that she won't start hitting them.

Child protective services will definitly step in due to the fact that even though she is not physically tormenting them, she is mentally tormenting them. People, especially children who are full of love can take physical beatings a lot more than mental beatings. It shows on their actions. This cuases them to grow up with very unstable mood swings, violent tempers, rage, depression etc. As for not changing the sheets, well, if she has them sleep on the same saturated bed, that is technically physical abuse (or is it neglect, I think neglect)... either way it goes, its unsanitary for the childs living and well being. She might be facing serious jail time for this.

You neglect to give the childrens ages. Umm yes, there is something going on here that throws up the red flag ! It is weird behavior. Making them wear embarrassing clothing should embarass her as well. She is still doing psychological damage to these kids.....you don't have to hit people to abuse them. And sometimes the psychological things leave huge problems. Have you ever ask her why she does these things?? You cannot leave a child sleeping in a urine soaked bed. That is why they make pull ups !!
She has anger issues toward her own children.
They are just little people.....who didn't ask to be here....
Hope you can help these little guys ......you need to do something...speak up...your a wonderful aunt.

Ask her, y she is doing so? Tell her she has no right to do these wit the children! They dont hav any fault! Its she who brought them in to the world, so she is obligated to take care of them!
Dont waste time, plz go and make her understand....im really worried abt the children and abt their future....
If they are gonna get such kinda behavior from their mom at this age it will cause a gr8 mental hurt to them! Be careful!
You can also giv them shelter and u can support the kids!
If talking to her is not working then call police!

Though she is not physically abusing them, she is abusing them emotionally, which can be just as terrible. If you truly believe she is tormenting them, call CPS. Before making that move, look deep within yourself to make sure you are doing this for the children's behalf and not to get revenge or put her in her place for your own personal satisfaction. If the children are suffering, definitely get them help.

I don't know if CPS could do anything about it, unless she breaks the law.
It might shake her up if they pay her a visit, though.
If not, you can give her a piece of your mind and offer to take the kids off her hands. She sounds like an unfit mother who has no business being around children.

Some people shouldn't have kids. Have you ever interviened? Obviously the fathers aren't around and have no clue, shame on them too. She's too immature to have kids. I'd probably make the call. The kids are the most important.

u r contradicting yourself its ok if you want to look out for you sister kids but ask yourself what can you do as her brother. To take some pressure off of her. She probably has alot of stress by calling cps wont help anything and if they investigate and find nothing then there goes a big fight for nothing. if you havent already talked to her, let her know what u are considering if things wont change. yeah your in a dilemma. if your planning to do anything plz. be upfront with her and let her know ahead of time instead of doing it behind her back. good luck

This is mental abuse, and is just as damaging, if not more so, than physical abuse. CPS can and should put a stop to it, and if necessary, remove the children and give them to guardians who DO want to raise them. You should report this to CPS immediately - they will keep the source confidential.
