Yes, enough said. But be prepared for a very broken system attempting to fix an even more dysfunctional situation. But you can't just let it go on. I couldn't.
Yes, you need to call. This child is innocent and has no one to stand up for them. You are an adult with the ability to defend yourself. This three-year-old can't do that. Please do the right thing and make a report.
You don't need to be hesitant...you don't need to think....YES, YES, YES, that poor little boy IS being abused...won't SOMEONE in his family show him they care???Please don't wait...save that little boy....
This makes me so sad for that poor little boy. Are you close to him? I'm just wondering if you could have him over to spend the night or go to a kid movie or . . . . anything this week-end. Some way he could laugh and be silly and make noise and be a kid . . . and feel loved even if for just a little while.
We are not close unfortunately. Like I said I don't live in town so I only seem maybe one weekend a month or every two months. And when I do seem him he doesn't really come near me and doesn't talk. But I do try and give him son of my sons toys to cheer him up but they just get taken away. But I think I will def. call, he deserves better. No kid should be that sad. I can't keep waiting hoping for someone else or something like jail to do it. But it is hard.
You need to call NOW! This is a horrible situation for this little boy. You also need to let your Mom know you called and she needs to step up and be the hero this boy needs and tell the DCFS worker exactly what is going on. If things do get to the point of having the child removed, I do believe that DCFS will ask family if they would be willing to take him. Would your Mom be willing to become his guardian? Or you?
If your Bro/Sil/Mom all live in the same house, they will not ask your mom to be the child guardian. They might look to you as a resource. But The child will be in Temp Foster care till they check you out. On the 1st call they will probably not removed the child. Unless the Caseworker feel there is imminent danger. They will have the parent (and maybe your mom) go to parenting classes first.
