I don't know for sure if the SIL is in fact a drunk! all we have is speculation. Does she leave's her children alone, unattended? or does she leave them with someone who she thinks will watch the children properly? can you prove she is a drunk driver? what does her driving record look like? if it is good or at least has no DUI's your "addict" theory(because that's what it is) is out the window. I don't know how you get kicked out of kindergarten? what did he do? stab another kid in the eye with a pencil? Twice? you can't be kicked out of kindergarten for attendence I'm pretty sure..... so? By the sounds of it "you" are seeing her children as play things! it is very seroius thing trying to steal someones children.fasted58 wrote: Sooner or later Child Services will become involved if they aren't already. Not if, but when the SIL loses custody of the kids they may be placed out of family. Katy is right to get the ball rolling now.NO! you cannot assume someone is going to get their children stolen, Then act based upon that assumption! IF they do have social services or whatever come in and swoop the kids out (and thats a big if) the social services would call you because you are family and offer you the chance to go through a screening process to possibly become the parents legal guardian. so you shouldn't worry about snatching up her 1st born like Rumpelstiltskin(Ha! autospell rocks!) Focus on trying to keep it from going there at all cost! if you had your aunt call Social service's on your mother and made you live in a halfway house for most of your life you might feel different about having that crappy mom stay your mom than say... the aunt
u,m honestly i had an inatentive mother. was responsible for cooking for myself and finding way to school and practice on my own from the time i was 8 years old and moved out on my own when i was 15. and ya im sure she is a drunk. 9 single car accidents meaning only her from driving off the road. no dui's but considering where her house is not that surprising.... i routinely drive 75 to 80 in 35 and 40 mph zones on way to that house because no cops patrol there... you cross through 3 counties lines in about 3 miles cause of how things are cut and 3 towns.... so cops dont bother.
