a co-worker of mine does not do her share of work, when she comes in. she sits around, talks on the phone, and she brings her son to work, even though that's against policy. nothing has been said to her, because the supervisor is friends with her mother, who happens to work on another floor, but I feel, if that were me, or any other employee we would be reported to the manager, which is what I want to do.

Why do you want to get involved in this? Do you suppose the management is not aware, even though they employed the supervisor?
You may inform the management and find yourself in an embarrassing situation, as they may know all about it and find it quite OK.
Every employee is employed with different duties and responsibilities.
You say it's because this woman knows someone's mother that she works differently ~ in fact there could be another reason you are completely unaware of.
In cases like this, do your own work and ignore others, it's not only none of your business but you may be jumping feet first into a pile of mess you don't want to know about if you go over the supervisor's head!
Cheers :-)

It certainly sounds as though you have ample justification for complaint. The only thing that you noted that is not subjective, though, is that she brings her son to work with her which is against company policy.
Unless you can document your other complaints, or you have witnesses also willing to complain, you might be better to keep those to yourself. If no one supports your position, you'll lose credibility.
Go through proper channels. First, go to your supervisor and register your complaint. If she doesn't take measures to correct the situation, you are then quite justified in taking the complaints to her boss.

If you do this then be preparred for the consequences . You could lose your job over it and alot more . You could slip a note to Hr and let them know what is going on . Or drop a hint around an HR supervisor.I hate when co workers get shown favors . It makes for ugly relations at work . good luck .
