I need some insight.

I'm debating on calling CPS on my little sister. She's so mean to her kids.(2 boys. one of them 2yrs, the other 9 months.) She and her boyfriend (The boys' father) constantly yell at them. Everytime I see my nephews they are always so dirty. I know kids get dirty, but these boys are nasty. Its so sad. My sister and her boyfriend fight over changing their diapers and in the mean time the boys are sitting in dirty diapers. (If I'm over there I usually do it just so my nephews dont have to suffer) They fight CONSTANTLY in front of the kids. My sister is bipolar schizophrenic and her boyfriend is an alcoholic and pot head. They bounce around from place to place. My mom and dad just evicted them from their house and her boyfriend bit my dad's nose off. Seriously. It was barely hanging on. He had to have 50 stitches. They threaten to harm my mom daily. I know CPS can't do anything about that, but they do all this in front of the kids. I have a strong feeling that if these sweet little boys stay with their parents they wont have a good chance at life and will end up just like my sister and her boyfriend. I love my sister.. but I love my nephews more. Would you do the same? This wouldnt make me a horrible sister or anything? I have enough bad karma working against me.

It probably wouldn't do much. From what you have described it doesn't sound like textbook abuse. There is no physical abuse or anything. Just bad parenting.

i would have called cps already if they are liven like that its not healthy

Oh my, that's terrible! I would definitely try and do something. That is so sad. You may just call cps or someone and ask what could be done. Good luck, I don't think it makes you a horrible sister at all. It makes you a very caring aunt.

Honestly how would you feel if something bad happened to her boys and you never said anything? I personally would feel guilty. If she wasn't your sister would you report her? Try to emotionally detach yourself from her for a minute and think about those boys...your call could be what helps them.

Do what you think is best. Here in Florida, you can do it without your identity being known, as well, so, she never has to know it was you. If you think a foster family can take care of the boys better, than I would do it. Good luck, and follow your heart!

It doesn't hurt to at least voice your concerns w/ CPS and see what they think. That doesn't make you a bad sister at all...it makes you a very caring aunt.

I don't think CPS will care about the diapers and dirty thing unless it's severely effecting their health. But the health issues w/ their parents could be grounds for rehoming the children.

Did your parents not call the police on them, and get CPS involved.It's a shame that the onus has to be on you, but I personally couldn't imagine the guilt if something happened to those kids.Good luck on whatever you decide!

Follow your heart. You need to help those kids and you need to help your sister. Do you what your heart tells you feels right and It seems like your sister and her boyfriend won't be get the parents of the year award for some time. I know what I would do (I would call CPS), I would not walk away from those kids, but you have decide whether you can live with your decison.

That's what I was thinking too.

Personally I would, If the problems are that out of hand and always occouring, Maybe they need Cps sniffing their nose around a little bit, Maybe it will shape them up. And if it doesnt at least you know if you heart you did the right thing for your nephews You sister wouldnt even have to know it was you, But if you choose to tell her She will forgive you one day after she gets her head out of her ass it seems to be up there pretty far from what your explaining.

GOOD LUCK i hope you make the right choice

Wow. Thats very sad. I'm sorry.
Are the boys healthy? Do they get enough food?

I cant really say because I'm not in the situation but I almost think it would be in their best interest if you did. That situations does not sound healthy for a child to be in.

I don't think it would make you a bad sister at all, it would make you a very caring aunt though. I would do the same thing in a sceond if any of my neices or nephews had to live like that. It really doesn't sound like a safe and healthy environment for 2 little kids, I'm so sorry they have to go through that!! I hope everything turns out OK.

Well if you believe that you have a real reason to call them and are concerned for their safety and well being then I dont think it makes you a bad sister. I have called CPS on my sister numerous times. Her and her bf were druggies really bad and when I went to pick him up one day they wouldn't answer the door but I heard my nephew crying... .my mom was with me so we tried the door and it was unlocked and my sister was just passed out on the floor my nephew was sitting there disgusting and in a very very old dirty diaper. We called then. Another time I called because when I went to pick him up another time he had a huge hand print across his face. He wasn't even a year old at that time. It bruised up for 2 days before it started to fade away. Luckily now CPS has finally quit giving him back to my sister and her bf. He now lives with my mom. His dad is in jail and my sister is now a prostitue and hardly ever comes around to see her son. Sometimes it's hard but when it comes to children you can't let them stay in bad environments and you have to do what's best for them.

I'm not real sure they don't physically abuse their kids. I wouldn't be at all shocked if they do. I'd have to talk to my mother and find out. They both have been in and out of jail for domestic violence and my sister's boyfriend was arrested for being the crap out of my sister when she was 26 weeks pregnant with the youngest one. and they do threaten the kids..So like I said.. I wouldnt be at all shocked. But I was looking up child abuse and neglect laws and it includes emotional and mental abuse.
