[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:04 -- OP here. If I contact the school social worker about this, what typically would happen next? [/quote] Good question. What are the ramifications to the student and the mother and the family as a whole. Is there any kind of record or paper-trail that could negatively affect them? [/quote] Not at all, unless further conversations with the family lead to a CPS report. And let's be very clear: even with mandated reporters, they still tend to report less than they should, as opposed to more than they should. By the time anyone is calling CPS, it's usually very serious and WAY beyond a kid asking another kid's parent for snacks. In OPs situation where mom is present and seems to be trying even if he's overwhelmed, it's very hard to see how a paper trail could come of this. But hopefully, either the kids really are fine, or if they're not, then good referrals to resources for mom and family will come. [/quote]
