QUESTIONS

  • My daughter's teacher has given some specific issues regarding neglect of our child. Her mother is responsible for her schooling, but on her custody days the teacher has noticed some "red flags" in the last month, as well as some increased absences.

  • My niece found out her parents are doing meth and left her home to live with her girlfriends grandmother but her parents forced her to go back home.

Not first time for parents. How can I get her out of that environment?

My child also complains that the other parent is using drugs in front of him. Is this considered neglect and what are my options?
