Question by DKP: Would you turn in family/a sibling to dept of human services or police?
Put yourself in my shoes if you can. I have an older sister – she’s close to 40 yrs old, has 3 kids (each from different dads & one’s in prison for life!). She’s divorced, and has constantly been having major drinking/drug related parties at the house she stays at for free (it’s my mothers home – my mom pays for all the utilities, gas, etc..) & doesn’t pay for crap! She works part-time as a CNA at the local nursing home & what money she does make there, she spends on drugs & alcohol (nice of her to offer my mom any $ towards the bills to heat/air condition the place, huh?). And if you’re wondering where she gets the money to feed her children – well look to us taxpayers for that, cuz she milks the gvmt for all their worth!!!!
Well, a few months back, my husband and I found out she was having one of these parties, and had her two daughters (both under the age of 12) present….prior to this particular night, she’d been having them almost every night. My husband thought we should say something to the police about that the children might be in harms way around all the drugs (not really healthy – and in our eyes, a type of abuse). So, the cops busted the party, after we said something to them. Turns out she had 13 some underage/minors at the party, that she was providing drugs & alcohol to..AND she had at least one of her children present. Now, fast fwd 2 months. Up until this point, she had no idea who turned her in (we did this anonymously & police told us it would be filed as such)…that was until this past week, when she got the paperwork from her attorney, which had the police report with MY name posted all over it (thats another story).
