Reporting someone to CPS

[Titty Meat]

So I have an uncomfortable question to ask- I have a trashy co-worker who's a huge loud mouth bitch. She tells the whole office her business. Usually I just ignore it because I don't care and it's none of my business.

Lately she's been talking about some obnoxious ****ed up shit. She's talked about how she and her bf drive with her kids in the car after they've been drinking "but aren't to the point of being ****ed up" pretty stupid but whatever. Anyway she shares some of the most vile disturbing shit the other day about how she caught her nephew doing sexual stuff with her daughter like finger in the vagina.

I don't want to go to HR about it because it will just get me in trouble. Would I be out of line to report it to CPS? This lady sounds like she has no business having children.

[The Franchise]

Obviously 100% report it to CPS but if we're being honest...they won't do shit. CPS is either over worked or doesn't give a ****. I feel for that kid because the chances aren't good that anything will be done.

Why are people questioning lewdog? The advice he gave is a good course of action

There's nothing gutless about a man deciding if what he's heard is worth having a child removed from its home.

This isn't like reporting a ****ing barking dog.

If Billay is wrong, this could destroy and entire family and **** that child's life forever.

This is not a decision to be taken lightly, and you and Katipan and anyone else acting like it is is complete bullshit.

Yes, this is the type of conversation a person SHOULD have with others. He SHOULD be getting insight from others before recklessly reporting accusations all willy-nilly Karen like. Because it's a decision that could potentially alter the lives of other human beings in the most significant way.

CLEARLY Billay is on the fence about whether what he's heard is enough to warrant having a child removed from their parents, and he's looking for advice from others on what they think. That's GOOD.

Trying to question his manhood because he's putting thought and weighing opinions before starting a process that could potentially ruin a child/family is absolutely ridiculous and i can't believe im even reading this shit right now.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Billay did do something. He reached out for advice. That's something.

[Katipan]

How stupid.
Don't report abuse because you might be wrong.

****.
That.

Exactly. This isn't an adult or an older kid assaulting a child. This is two children poking at each other's bodies. That doesn't mean neglectful parenting is involved, or that the parents didn't remedy the situation.

Sorry that some people might wanna put some thought into whether they should begin the process of tearing a family apart over two 10 years old ****ing off.

Maybe be less reckless with other people's lives?

I'm the only one that asked what he was reporting.
Gosh, hope those secret other things aren't happening right now.

You should ask yourself what kind of man knows about an assault on a child and comes to CP for advice?

Your morality is dependant on public opinion and HR. Go sit on a cactus.

Without reading through all of the reasonable, well thought out discussion on this thread, definitely report it all to CPS and hopefully nail that bitch to the wall if she's guilty.

Unfortunately, they have to be caught in the act of drinking and driving to suffer any consequences. The sexual stuff could get them into deep shit for sure, if they are minors.

Do you work the night shift at a Waffle House?

You accuse him of knowing about an assault and thinking about withholding that. That’s an extreme misrepresentation of the situation.

[PatMahomesIsGod]

You heard some hearsay of abuse.

That’s not evidence. Stay the **** out of the situation.

[ToxSocks]

You're gonna have to give us the rest of the details of what you overheard.

Because right now I don't think you have much of a case. Maybe she's not the most responsible parent, but you haven't described anything that constitutes actual child abuse/neglect.

A child acting out sexually with another child is obviously unsavory and you hope the parents snuffed that shit out right away and disciplined accordingly, but im not sure that that act alone between kids = abusive/neglectful parenting. Maybe that's something for a social worker to decide.
