In DRUG REHABILITATION / Tags: addiction, boyfriend, come, don't, drug, friend, huge, kids /
Question by Jenny: I have a ” friend” that is 22, has 5 kids, w/ a boyfriend who has a huge drug addiction & kids don’t come 1st
She has been thru alot in her life and doesn’t see the problem any longer. One child is disabled, and her mom takes care of the whole family. Cooks all them dinner everynight, gets-up w/ her children everyday ect. Her 2 bed apt. is horribly filthy and so are the children. She is in preventitive services thru child protective services so nothing is being done for these kids. I love these kids and haven’t the heart to help her anylonger because she uses Me. And because The kids are so neglected emotinally it makes my stomach turn. WHAT CAN I DO?????? I need some serious advice!!!!! Their future depends on it because their g-ma is losing her mind. I have tried to talk to them all, nothing works. And frankly, I am tired of seeing, & smelling the filth. Also I feel doing nothing is a tragedy in itself. Please give me some advice!!! Thank-You. Jenny

This is about those kids and not about your friend. You’ve got to report this. She obviously doesn’t care about herself, why would you think she’d care about her kids? Sad….
I’m just saying…

if talking to her doesn’t help, call your division of family services. they should come out and either take the children or tell her to clean up or she’ll loose them. she needs help badly. she’ll most likely hate you at first but thank you later.
I don’t understand what you mean by “she is inpreventitive services thru child protective services”. If CPS has a case worker assigned to these people; the filth and neglect in regard to the children should not be going on.
This isn’t about your friend. This is about the children of your friend; their health and well being. The fact that you know all of this to be a fact; it is your duty to call Child Protective Services and let them know that someone in their agency is severely slacking or lacking in their duties. Please don’t say you are concerned and not letting the proper agencies get involved.
you friend don’t need her kids if is doing all of that . someone need to get those kids or help the grandmother with them. do your friend has any brothers or sister that can get the kids. be there for the kids. help as much as you can . good luck
you seriously need to talk to your friend and try an intervention, it will work with the right people. if yo are going to talk to her bring her away from the house far enough that she cant go back if she does not want to talk to you
