Hi
My niece is 17 and newly pregnant. Her mum (my SIL) does not want to support her (they have a history of serious not getting on - teen-on-parent violence, poor attendance at school and college, police involvement, has an assigned social worker (who is not much help..), niece has been living between home and boyfriend's house for a couple of months.
Ideally my SIL wants her out of the house - SIL does not want to look after the baby and niece is barely able to look after herself (just irresponsible on every level - you name it - drink, drugs, smoking, truancy, incapable of keeping room clean, doing laundry..).
Does anyone have any advice on options for my SIL to investigate? Niece had been offered supported living previously, but refused it. Are SS likely to pay more attention now a baby's on the way?
Thanks
