That is a horrible situation that they're in. Thank god that little boy is okay. DCFS might look into it though...
I think that at least if you picked up the kids once in a while and gave them a taste of childhood for at least a couple times a week it would be better than nothing.
If you didn't know, there are ways where you can become their foster parents even though you're family. My friend and both of her sisters were fostered by their grandparents who recieved monetary help from the state, their father died and their mother and her boyfriend had problems. Maybe it's something to look into if you feel like it's a monetary issue.
I'm so glad that he was saved. God must have been looking after him. Anyways, the kids sound very lucky to have at least 2 stable adults in their lives, their Aunt and Uncle. |
