Am I a bad person for wanting to take my nephew away from his mother knowing he is not in good hands? Loveless, abusive relationship.

If you TRULY believe he is in danger with his mother,then you should try to get custody of him.I would make damn sure you know all the facts before taking such a drastic step though.A child being taken away from it's mother is a very traumatic thing,even if the mother is abusive or neglectful.When my sister fell on hard times she was having trouble raising her daughter,a neighbor called social services,my niece was put in foster care and my sister was never able to get her back.That was 5 years ago,my sister has since straighten out her life,but the state terminated her rights 18 months after removing the child,so she can never get her back.This has torn our family apart,and ruined my niece's childhood.Maybe it would be best if you just offered help,love and support to your nephews mother,instead of trying to take him.
Good Luck

No it doesnt make you a bad person at all. It shows that your caring, kind ,cosiderate and loving..... especially if your willing to take on someone else's responsibillities as that of a child!. Still you need to know the whole picture...maybe the child needs help yet......do you think too that maybe the mother may be having some personal problem and doesnt know how to ask for help?. There are many like that!!! Still......your a beautiful person with a good heart and life needs more people like you!

from experience ive had both a good childhood 1-12 then when i became a teenager my parents divorced and we struggled alot i would have to say it totally depends on how the person see things in his life going through both i strayed off into bad things drugs and what not but now im a stronger person i learned while struggling between right and wrong soooo i decided i wasnt going to be BAD i changed my habits and problems..there is some truth in what your saying but generally anything could happen bad people come from good and bad childhoods good people come from good and bad childhoods also it just depends which way the child decides to go. Just because i ended up there (bad tennage life) i knew i wasnt going to stay there.

I dont know how old you are, but if you simply take him away whether or not your family the mother can call it a kidnapping and you would be in lots of trouble. The best you can is tell others in the family or let child protective services know about whats going on.

no. You are looking out for the greater good. I think you should do more than "want". call child services if you truly think it's that bad. or try to talk to the mother about it. DO NOT turn your shoulder to a situation like that. You need to be there fore your nephew. and it seems your doing good at that.
Good luck

parenting does not come with a rule book and what works for one family may not work for another. If the child is in grave danger you shouldn't have wasted time asking here, and called the proper authorities. You dont have to agree or like her parenting skills but she may not like yours either if your a mom or when you become one. Kids are extremely bonded with their mothers so use caution here. Hard to "take" a kid away from his mom too.

If he is in an abusive relationship then no. It is perfectly normal for someone to want better things for the people that they love. There are steps to doing so however that vary from state to state. If this is something that you are really wanting to do, contact an attorney that specializes in family law.

No, it's not bad to want to help a child get out of an abusive situation. You shouldn't just abduct him, though. Call child protective services or the police and follow their instructions.

Not at all.I want to take my cousins kids away from her because theyre all boys and she refuses to cut their hair or make them take baths and her and her husband both sleep around and shes a stripper and straight up white trash.If you think you can give your nephew a better life than she can I say go for it.

i had the same problem with my nephew and i wanted him so much and i still wish he was mine but all u can do is spend more time with him and bond with him more because thats going to start a big family fued and u dont want that all you can do is keep him with you as much as possible and if the mom is like my nephews mom shes not goin to care how long you keep him or how much time you want to spend with him but u dont want to legally take action that tears familys apart and takes forever
