Is there really nothing anyone can do? (Please hurry and answer!)?
Okay, so there are a lot of people involved. My family, my niece, my half-brother, and his girlfriend.
Okay, so my half-brother and his girlfriend have a past of doing drugs and drinking a lot and getting high all the time. Puking on my niece and scaring her, I think. Everything except for the puking on is all for sure. I don’t know what to do. My half-bro’s girlfriend has a warrant for her arrest in Illinois, again I’m not exactly positive of this.
Anyway, to the main question. They’re taking my niece to Colorado so that my half-brother can either work as a bartender (doubt it) or at a medical marijuana farm. He told my mom that he’d be making 25,000 a year or something like that. I don’t know what to do… My niece is two years old and doesn’t need to be around that. He doesn’t have any business taking care of a child and neither does she. They have three days worth of clothes for her, no money, barely any brains, no health insurance. I’m worried about my niece… Is there anything that I or my family can do to get my niece back?
Note–We’ve been taking care of my niece at my house for the past six months while my half-bro and his gf pretended to get jobs, lost them, got high, and hid away at my half-bro’s grandma’s house.
wow. poor little girl well you can ask but i doubt they will listen or giver her away or you can sue them? i know they are stupid but who knows?
You need to find a way to get her and take care of her as a real parent should!
Take it to court if you have to!
Report it to Child Protective Services. If they find your 1/2 brother and his girlfriend to be unfit parents, your family can petition to have custodial rights/take care of your niece.
Call social services. That’s all I know you can do short of something illegal which I do not recomend. Only one other thing you can do is pray for your niece and her parents.
Call in on her warrant. Call child protective.
Your best bet is to either call CPS or threaten them that you are going to if they do not let you keep her there with yall. usually if something like this is told to CPS they will keep a very close eye on them and even go to their house and talk to them about it at a random time so that they do not expect them.
call child welfare of protective services ( if you have one there) hopefully they will take the baby before those involved can leave with her. You are doing the right thing to try and help the child.Even if they do leave with her before you can do anything .. if you find out where they are staying you can call child protective services and have them check on her.
i truly think a good solution is to try and find a lawyer friend to represent u in court, or u can hav a family intervention with ur half bro and his gf. depending on ur age u or a parent of urs should be the primary caregiver of ur niece because ur half bro isnt really cutting it
u no in times that u r going through try and lighten the mood and stay calm and think every decision through
What an inspiring man your half-brother is.
LOLJK they both sound useless. Don’t give them custody over your niece. She’ll grow up either in a terrible state or just like her parents – which is really bad.
What I would do if I were you is inform the police on their drug abuse and whatnot. But that might not be the right way for everyone, but hey.
