[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 628556, member: 1514"] Oh I know this is the baby's parents mess to solve. I am fairly angry because it has become more and more obvious that it is someone from Mandy's world that has reported this. And yes, both he and Billy were supposed to get that house cleaned up but Billy will never help...never has and never will. We also thought Mandy was moving in so she would help. The three of them literally sat down with us and gave us a rundown of how each of them was going to contribute to the household and one of the things was Mandy providing most of the food because she had her food stamp card. That obviously never happened. I dont understand how people can do these things because if I had split up with Tony when the boys were young we would have both moved heaven and earth to make sure they were taken care of. I was looking around online last night to attempt to find out exactly what constitutes an issue within a house and this is what I found: [I] PHYSICAL[/I] [LIST] [*]There are no safety hazards present in house (exposed wiring, unsafe heating units, broken windows, fire hazards, rats, vermin, snakes); [/LIST] [LIST] [*]House has not been condemned; [/LIST] [LIST] [*]House does not have running water or electricity, but parent is able to provide "proper care" standards by other means; [/LIST] [LIST] [*]There is adequate heat; [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Child has safe sleeping area (not exposed to rats or the elements); [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Housekeeping standards do not expose child to possible disease, infections, injuries or fire hazards.
