Wanting To Report A Couple For Their Dirty Home?

I am wanting to report someone for their house being filthy dirty. The couple are not legally married and they live together. They also have small children. They live in a mobile home in Georgia. I know the couple and their home is filthy. I am wanting to report them but don't know who to call. Can someone on here tell me who I am supposed to call?

    You might want to start by calling Children's Protective Services. Tell them that you believe that the condition of the home is dangerous for the children. Is the home dirty or just messy? Be sure you have the facts straight before you call.

    Good luck

    I'm skeptical about your motives. Why can't you just talk to the owners? If you have and they didn't listen, I understand then. If you think this is a hazard to the kids then call Child Protective Services, and they will send someone out to look the place over. If they are massive hoarders, you can also call the local health department and have them stop by.

    What part of the mobile trailer do you live in. What relation are you to this family? Why is this important to you in your daily life? Who made you the clean police?

    Each person in the United States is a allowed to live as they please.

    If you think this is a health problem for the children this might be a different situation, however, nothing in your statement indicated you thought the condition of the trailer was a health problem for the children.

    Your statement was they are unmarried living together and she is not clean.

    You are to mind your own business and not interfere with other people and what they do in life. What you might consider not clean, another person might not mind so much.

    If you would want to be a good neighbor and have so much concern for this couple, it might be that you introduce yourself and see of you could be of help in the cleaning of the property. Find out if there is a reason for the condition of the trailer. Some young individuals might not have been trained to clean properly.

    There might be an illness or some other problem in this couples family that might prevent them from properly taking care of their home.

    Be a neighbor, before you call someone, check the situation out and see if there is something you are not seeing.

    I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

    If the children are truly in danger, call Child Protective Services. Please think carefully before you do this - innocent children could be removed from their parents and put into a far worse situation than just living in a dirty house.

    Married or unmarried shouldn't be an issue, however, if the home is filthy, it can indicate serious issues - hoarders, druggies, mental illness.

    Filth can eventually bring rodents, maggots and e-coli so your concern is legit.

    Call Social Services or Child Protective Services in your county and you can remain anonymous.

    Why not see if you can get to know this family and try to offer your friendship and support? Maybe these folks have a difficult path in life and it might help their load a little lighter if you could be a friendly and non-judgmental neighbor.

    I would question your motivation for wanting to report a family with small children.

    Why not be a much better person and approach the woman and tell her you can see she is struggling with two small children, and you would like to offer her a bit of help with cleaning.

    You can report her, but think if that is the most ethical and moral thing to do at this stage.

    Unless you're their landlord it's none of your business. Not being a good housekeeper and living together unmarried are not crimes. You sound like a busybody.
