[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CPS isn't going to do much. She needs to take the child full time, document it and go back to court.[/quote] +1 My kid is the same age and I would never leave her alone like that! Neglect is so emotionally scarring. I know because I was neglected like this. Deep in my bones I know I have no value. I can fake it, but I don't feel it. If your own parent don't love and care for you, then you are scarred for life.[/quote] Just want to second the long term impact of neglect. It really has a horrible psychological impact. My now exDH did something similar with our kids - he got married (years after we separated) and would frequently have the kids for the weekend but then leave them home alone while he went out with his wife. The kids eventually refused to keep spending the night there. They are in college now and still see him, but they don't think very highly of him. Your sister should take the kids whenever he asks and document it. She shouldn't move for full custody right away, nor child support change. She needs to build up a substantial pattern (at least a year) of the kids being with her. [/quote]
