okay ladies I need some advice please my fiance's sister and her husband are on the verge of losing their apartment because her husband wanted to choose a dog over his wife his son and his unborn daughter they have nowhere to go and they refused to come here their last resort is to go to a hotel which they clearly can't afford because her husband is the only one working and he only makes $10 an hour and I'm not trying to disown them or point them out as bad parents by any means but they treat there are three year old son like complete crap and now I don't know what I should do I don't want to see my niece and nephew go downhill because they are being stupid in not providing right for their children... My fiance's sister says that she "disciplines" her son but its really considered abuse because of how bad she does it... I am really considering calling CPS in trying to get custody of our nephew because of how bad he's being treated and its only going to get worse because they're about to have a daughter and she's always wanted a daughter and I think that's why she treats her son so bad it's because she wanted him to be a girl... She is started spanking him when he was 9 month old... She spanks him with wooden spoons that you cook with and spatulas or the back of a hairbrush really anything that she has... Can someone please help me I need advice on what I should do I have put up with it for so long and it really tears me up inside that she treats this poor boy like complete crap... He's such a happy little boy and I just want him to grow up right...
@taylor86, all of my fiancé's sisters husband's side of the family is psycho they will brain wash that poor child... and I'm currently not expecting so I think everything will be okay because I'm not risking really anything because I'm not pregnant...
@breedean.wayt, I'm sure it won't. They'd be more concerned about putting them in a good home. But it would probably be a while before there would be any relocation. Also, you can make the report anonymously, that way your sister can't hold a grudge. But first step would be reporting it, make sure to give as many details as you can, and then they'll start an investigation which can be lengthy.
Your situation is so tough! Praying for you! But is anyone else in your family capable of taking care of her? I wouldn't want you to carry all the weight! You have to take care of yourself as well.
oh 😕. I'm not sure if since you and your fiancé arnt married if it will affect anything but if you call be prepared to answer some questions and they might have to open a case . but also know if a case is open your sister will not know it was you who called them. and if they do end up taking your nephew when your niece is born they will go and take her also since its an unsafe environment .
I don't think she would! she never let's him come spend the night when I ask...@mommybump2016,
I would certainly call. That sounds like such and unsafe environment for him and his sister on the way. But just remember it's not your fault. You're in a really awkward position, which makes it really hard to make the decision. It's so important to speak up for children, when often times they have no voice. <3
No he doesn't deserve it! it's really sad! I feel bad because I feel like I've should have done it a long time ago.. :(@amandahiatt
Yes we're definitely going to look into it...I'm probably going to call and find out tomorrow and work on getting the things they need!
Do it. As someone who never had anyone to help me, I say do it. It really affected me.
I've done this they will lose their rights and if any family wants the child it's pretty easy to get custody as long as you have what he and the new baby needs and can provide for them they do not want the children in foster care it's very over crowded and they want what's best for the children and almost always a family member taking them is much better. I would do it and speak to them when you call about what the polices are where you live and what all you would need to do to obtain custody. you could even call and speak with them about it without filing a report just to see what you need to do and get and then call on them. Do what's in your heart and what's best for the babies you will never forgive yourself if something were to happen to them. Just do what you would want done if you were the child , they don't have a voice you have to be it for them. @breedean.wayt
@taylor86, what's going to happen when they have my niece do I do it when she's born to or do I just wait until she's born cuz she's due in April? I just want what is best for my niece and my nephew...
I think in the long run she will appreciate you providing a better life for her child! And your nephew will definitely appreciate it much more!
Aww well congrats! Weddings are exciting, if stressful haha @breedean.wayt
