Should this mom report her oldest son and family to Dept of Social Services...read on...her son is 21, married young and has a 1 year old baby boy. I visited the newly weds over a year ago. My friend warned me that her son and wife kept a very dirty home...stuff piled everywhere...piles of clothes with just paths through them, newspapers piled up...etc.After baby born went to visit again and she said it was worse and not to go in house.

They evidently let the baby crawl around without a diaper and poop/pee where ever without cleaning it up. They brought baby out.2 months ago she watched the baby and he had flea bites all over him... she found a couple in his hair. She showed them the flea bites and they said it was mosquitoes; then she told them she'd found a couple fleas in his hair... They haven't let her watch the baby since...I told her they need to be reported--to do so anonymously.

Yes DSS will take the baby away probably hand him over to her or other grandmother But those kids need a wake up call! That baby can get seriously sick...What do you think?

Absolutely. They are endangering the child, that is a definite fact. They are exposing the baby to a host of diseases and possible infections.

Clearly, both of them need help; however, the baby is a more pressing issue. I've read this question, several times and one thing keeps coming to mind. Yes, they are young; however, at 21, they know better than this.Is there any chance that there is a drug problem, involved?

Can they not afford diapers, or just don't want to go through the trouble of changing them? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered and some serious guidance that these to need, to get on the road to being adults and functioning parents. I gotta wonder if the Grandmother has ever stepped in to help these two out?

If she's know it was this bad, why on earth did she let it go on this far? Knowing that the baby has flea bites, I doubt they are doing anything to care for the bites, then crawling around on soiled floors - with feces and urine, is very dangerous. The infections that they are exposing him to are pretty serious.

I'm actually surprised that this child hasn't been seriously ill - unless he has and it's just not something you know about. DSS needs to be called and these two need assistance. The Grandmother should probably have temporary custody; however, they just might want to know why she didn't call, knowing that this is what the child is exposed to, on a daily basis.

That is something that keeps coming back to me, over and over again. Another thing, do these two really want this child? It doesn't sound like it and it certainly sounds like they are not prepared to care or love this child enough to raise him.

Would they consider terminating their parental right? It's extreme, but I think the question should most definitely be raised. Someone needs to call, immediately.

Yes it will cause a lot of hurt and hearbreak but you have to think of that poor baby first and foremost. Maybe you should report it if she wont.

Yes! She has to put the baby's welfare over the concerns about the relationship with the son. The reason we have protective services is because children, especially babies, cannot speak for themselves, so an adult who cares for them has to step up and speak for them.

How will she feel if something seriously hurts the baby? (or worse) Honestly, the situation can't be healthy for the parents either. In many states, if a child is in a dangerous situation and someone knows it and does nothing, that person can be in legal trouble.

That's the case here in Indiana. I would say your friend could fall into this category if that's the law in her state. If the baby is removed, the parents can take steps to get him back if they change things in their lives.

Most protective service agencies ultimately want families to be reunited, but they want to make sure that the environment is safe. If they lose custody, they will be provided the services and training they need to properly care for their child. If they follow the steps that are outlined by family court, they will get their baby back.

If they refuse to change, the baby will be better off in a healthy, safe environment.

Absolutely agree! The things an adult can survive and those a baby can survive are quite different. They are endangering this child.

They need a big wake up call. Sources: A Foster Mom .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
