  • Has anyone ever had to make that hard call?

    Has Anyone ever had to make the hard call to child protective services???

    I'm stuck in a dilemma on what the right thing to do is...

    My 16 year old daughter is dating a 17 year old guy they have been together for 8 months things are great we have so much to do with the boyfriend and he is always over our place, His mum had a stroke 10 year's ago when he was 7 and has rehabilitated herself back to a good way, his dad is also in the picture living in the house but the parents aren't together and he has a 6 year old sister and a 3 year old sister the father has sole custody as the mother was deemed unfit yet the father goes to work and leaves the little girls in the mothers care she sometimes takes the 6 year old to school when she can be bothered and she leaves the little one home on her own allot she doesn't remember to feed the 3 year old most days and they have no food for the kids to even eat, the 6 year old is repeating prep at school and the school has had a lot of run in's with the family... I look after the little one quiet a bit and the 6 year old to but not as much as she is in school... The father is always off his face high on something when he picks the kids up from my place and the parents fight like hell all the time and bring the kids into it... Im worried if i ring child services that they will drop my name as the caller and i will ruin the relation ship for my daughter and her boyfriend plus i'll never get to see or help the little ones have some good that they deserve in their life I'm stuck between a rock and a heard place plzzzz plzzzz help me WHAT THE HELL SHOULD I DO...

    Additional Details

    my daughters boyfriend does help as much as he can but he is at school and tafe so it's hard for him to be around as much as he is needed... And the school were the 6 year old goes hasn't made a call as they have made attempts to the parents and they tell them everything is ok , until they see harm or neglect such as no school lunches there is nothing they can do i have been already to speak to the school on this matter...

  • Is it wrong that I accept my kids friends for who they are?

    My 14 year old daughter has a friend that is all kinds of wrong to other people,she is 13 and she smokes has sex swears like a trooper drinks farts burps ect but my daughter loves her they are great mates and I think she is ace I don't make her change to be in my home (with the exception of the C*** word) she knows I don't like it and i will say she tries haha... My kids know right from wrong and they know she is way out of line and they know that if they ever carried on like her i would throttle them (my kids are like why is she like that tho) I just say her parents don't care about her or were she is or who she is with she has no rules or boundaries so that's what happens to kids...

    People say to me I shouldn't allow her in my home or if she is their to control her mouth or your kids will think it's ok to be like that... But i think she's a good kid inside she loves us she is yes different but my kids need to also learn to accept people for who they are and if i can show that then they will learn to not judge people either and accept people for who they are and were they come from... After all i'm not this kids mum and altho she is hear as apart of our family alot eating sleeping hear i don't think i should have to parent her??? Is this ok for my kids or am i doing the wrong thing???

  • Education V's Happiness!!!?

    I'm having a really hard time at the moment with my 14 yr old and school... we moved her from her high school she started at in year 7 because she wasn't learning anything,we moved her (year 9) end of term 1 as she wanted to move because she wasn't learning anything (wasting her time) she wants to be a midwife... The new school which she picked has a great education and it's hard (which for me i'm happy about) but my daughter is struggling to fit in being the new kid... she has been there now for 1 full term and 2 weeks into the 3rd term but everyday when i pick her up she cries and she hates it there... what do I do??? make her happy and put her back into a school where she will get no education or leave her at the school with the great education but she is so miserable??? i'm worried that her age is very scary and all these teen suicides lately are a worry... If I leave her and she gets so depressed she won't learn at the new school anyway right??? or not???...

    any advice would be great Plz help...

  • After seeing Harry Potter and the half blood Prince I'm left feeling what the??? Anyone Else agree?

    Saw it yesterday very disappointed... This book was my all time fav out of the whole series and the movies just didn't scratch the surface of the book... Harry and Ginny's romantic kiss was lame... Ron and Hermione was way over the top for this book... Fleur and Bill where the hell were they isn't like the next book there wedding like quarter of the book is on that will they just leave all that out too??? Tonks and Lupin had huge parts in this film you only saw them twice... Harry's obsession with Malfoy was so ova the top in the book and the movie just didn't get that... The half blood prince story gee that got a mention once or twice... The burrow burning down that wasn't in the book and Ginny and Harry in the room of requirements that wasn't in the book Harry goes up their on his own to hide the book after Snape makes him go get all his books from his room to show him as Snape know's Harry has his potions book... And Harry getting draged into the lake wasn't in the book... the Attack on Bill from greyback in the battle ohhhh yeah that wasn't in the movie the battle what battle then Fleur and Mrs Weasleys argument in the hospital ova Bill... Also Harry was stunned by Dumbledore in the book in the tower under his cloke ohhh that didn't happen either he just stood their like a pratt and let them kill Dumbledore and did nothing gee the Harry I know would of killed anyone to protect that old man... This Tom Riddle was bad they should have used the original character from the second film... And then last thier was no funeral for Dumbledore and Harry breaks up with Ginny to protect her and Dumbledore left without telling Harry what other horcruxes to look for, gee how will he figure

    that out for the next book??? NOT HAPPY...
