Down our street lives a boy of around 6 years old. Since I have known him (since he was around 4) he has wandered up and down the street at all hours day and night. He hardly ever goes to school.
Sometimes I walk past him during the day and he will say "got up late so there's no point going to school now", other times he'll say "I've been to school today already and have been picked up early" (this is often around 2pm).
He's filthy, always covered in dirt all over his hands, face and clothes and he's always wearing the same clothes...ill fitting jogging suit bottoms, a t-shit (never seems to wear a coat) and wellington boots.
He once came to our house asking for a cigerette for his mum. I told him I didn't smoke and he put his hand on my hallway wall to peer around it and was so dirty he left a handprint on my wall.
I've just took my eldest to Karate and I saw said boy playing at the top of the street, wandering around the corner into the next street in pitch black darkness. Teenagers hanging around all over.
His front garden is covered in rubbish...not just crisp packets etc but 3 or 4 prams, old bikes, chairs, tables, carpets, sacks of rubbish...it actually resembles a mini rubbish tip. The house itself has a blanket pinned to the window during the night time but during the day you can see through and it mirrors the garden, stuff everywhere...the window ledge is piled up with god knows what.
I think his "mother" might be a drug addict, I saw her dragging the two kids down the street once (the youngest of which put two fingers up to me) and she could hardly lift her head as she walked.
I'm considering reporting them to the social services. Am I being judgmental?
