[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 453268, member: 1233"] I would be VERY tempted to send a letter detailing M's patterns to the local SS office. Esp as it is very clear he jsut wants to sponge off the system. He and katie likely cannot get welfare because I think there is a limit on how long you can get it - at one point it was 5 years in your adult life, period. And if you had any drug charges you were not eligible. Not sure that is the case but I knew a few families taht were cut off due to that and they raised a big stink though it didn't accomplish anything. Social Security has a way to report fraud and I think that is what they are trying to do. They take reports VERY seriously, even if the person is just applying for benefits and not getting them. I knew a lady who was trying to get disability and her family reported her because she was doing what katie and M are doing - same pattern of quitting jobs if they got any kind of money, everything. The fraud report kept her from scamming the system and she was just to the point of waiting for the first check -t hat big one iwth the back payments in it. Here is a link to the website - [url]http://www.ssa.gov/oig/hotline/index.htm[/url] She HATED Evan? OMG, that poor kid! I cannot fathom a 5yo who is just learning his colors, boggles my mind unless there is a really severe developmental problem. It sounds like his biggest developmental problem is his parents.
