What should I do to help my friend's daughter?

Question - (21 January 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 22 January 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I had this friend who isn't being a good mother! She uses her welfare money to go shopping and clubbing instead of using it for her daughter! She sleeps with random guys and tells her daughter that's going to be her new "daddy!" every single weekend! Her baby's father is around but she doesn't let him see her because she is jealous that he has a new girlfriend. And she also gets child support from him. She drinks and drive and smokes with her daughter in the car! And she let's random people that she just met watch her daughter!

When I brought up about how I think her behavior is bad and she should take care of herself and her daughter she wanted to stop being friends with me! What should I do because I feel bad for her daughter! She is only 3 years old and I see how bad she is acting because of her mother!

Thanks... I will try and find a child service that can help because it's not safe for that little girl! And if everyone is telling her what she is doing is bad and she doesn't listen then maybe this will! Because I would feel horrible if anything happened to this little girl!

I know what my friend is doing isn't illegal but it's still very bad and something needs to change! I was molested and raped when I was younger and I fear the worst in this situation so.... I will try to do what I can!

I know this will be hard for you, but there really is only one option, adn that's to call a child protection agency and tell them. The way this woman is going, she'll end up killing her daughter in an accident, or end up dead herself leaving her daughter alone.

The most you can really do is voice your concerns woth Child Services.

At the very least she is unjustly endangering a child.

But its not foryou to handle. So give it to the people whose job it is to handle these things.
