If I Could Get My Mom in Trouble for Child Abuse…should I??
Question by jm_martin711: if i could get my mom in trouble for child abuse…should I??
I am 17 and my mom has had a violent crack-head boyfriend for a while . A counselor said that along with him and her “emotional abuse” she could be charged felony child abuse.she got knocked up and I KNOW that she is not fit to raise another child after me and my sister.
she even seems mentally unstable now that she’s met him. (quit working (6 months ago) and she has continued drinking and smoking (while 3 months pregnant)) I am moving out in 3 months(graduating) but i don’t know what i should do.
should I turn her in so they know ahead of time for the baby or should I wait until something bad happens? i’m still 17 so I could do it if I wanted
I have tried everything fromtalking to ignoring and NOTHING! works (trust me)

I don’t think u should go and try to get ur mom in ‘trouble’ instead i think that maybe u should get her some help and let her know that you’re there for her and that u care about her.
Being in an abusive relationship is probably what is making ur mom seem like an unfit mother, maybe if she gets rid of that crack head bf than u and ur family will be much better off and maybe she will do a good job raising ur new brother or sister.
Think about helping her out instead of trying to get her into trouble.
