[QUOTE="Blueknight, post: 546130, member: 15054"] InsaneCdn- unfortunately, the mother came from a broken household where her upbringing wasn't much better. As far as I know, her family is spread out all over the country, her mother lives in another country. So besides her, the only other family is myself or my immediate family. We all live in the same area and, as shown, would not be beneficial for anyone. I have not called California's DSS yet, but did talk to his mother about having them involved. In my view she just may need some wraparound service or something. Or, better yet, just some Xanax:) Bunny- Thanks for the welcome!
