Basically i know someone with a 1 year old, she constantly screams shouts and smacks the lg sometimes for the sillyest of things. She swears calls her all the names under the sun. She drinks 4/7 nights a week and smokes constantly around the lg. She never cooks, maybe once a week, the rest of the week on takeaways, and moans her child is overweight, she already had a child i should mention, that was taken away and adopted out because she was unstable a few years ago. She treats the child like an adult friend she has no control over her i know i should call ss but theres something stopping me and i dont know what ????

Just do it. What's stopping you?

LynetteScavo · 15/07/2015 18:27

Surely SS are already involved if one child has been adopted?

What is stopping you? I think you know but don't want to admit it to yourself.

Have you spoken to this person about the way they treat their child?

LynetteScavo · 15/07/2015 18:29

The rest I could possibly over look..,but she constantly screams and shouts and smacks? Does this child seem at all happy and well adjusted?

Smacks a one year old?? What on earth could a one year old possibly do that is so bad to be smacked?! Call them!

Please don't let this child suffer any longer.. Pick up the phone and call SS. It will be totally confidential... You will never forgive yourself if something happened to that poor child.

Absolutely - call them today

selly24 · 28/07/2015 06:42

Did you call them OP? Really hope so. Think of the little girl and her future....

Nolim · 28/07/2015 06:53

Make the call

Dolphiness · 03/08/2015 13:14

Do it. She needs help x

Wishful80sMontage · 03/08/2015 13:16

Yes OP call them asap

PotteringAlong · 03/08/2015 13:18

If she has already had a child removed are social services not already involved?

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 03/08/2015 13:25

Call them. I would be surprised if they aren't involved already, however it could be that she was given the clear and things have gotten out of hand again

Realitea · 08/08/2015 08:34

I wonder if SS are involved but you don't know about it. If they are they're not doing a great job.
Definitely contact them.

Is she does this in front of imagine what she does I private?

Having a physically and emotionally abusive parent as a baby is a big factor in a person turning out as a psychopath or having some serious personality disorder or MH problems.

Call them immediately. This poor baby still has a chance if she gets out early enough. And why on earth are you even friends with someone like this?
