[quote=Anonymous]I'll be honest that, if this were my family and my sister relayed this to me and wasn't responding to her son's distress, I would do one of two things. Either 1) contact CPS or 2)offer to have nephew come live with me for school year (or perhaps both). Someone needs to advocate for this child, because his mother has on blinders. I don't have time to search at this instant, but the stats are frightening--the percentage of abusers who are mom's boyfriend is so high. Believe me, I am sympathetic to the plight of the single mom; I am one myself, and kid's dad is deceased so it's 100% me. I have worked very hard to build a network of fellow moms, joined sitting co-ops, and ultimately also moved to be near extended family. And it's still tough, so I get that she's in a tough place. Is there anything you could do from where you are to help sis build a similar village? I worry for your nephew and thank you for looking out for him.[/quote]
