Should the cops be informed...?

I know a couple who has a young daughter, but one of the parents is ducking away from the cops, has a ton of warrents, is driving a car w/o a licence, & no insurance, the parent was in an accident about 4 months ago and didn't report it, and the person she hit is now trying to sue, and she got a letter saying that her licence is going to be suspended...but she still dirves.. the daughter is VERY young, and do to lack of care is missing her 6 front teeth on the top, and lives in a messy home. The other parent either doesn't care or is to scared to say or do anything, or thinks that everythings normal...

I want to do something, but I know I can't, it's just hard to see this happening to the little girl... is it right for me to be mad, and hurt, and scared for the little girl?

Answer:
The "Mind your own business" rule can only be respected for so long. I wouldn't call the police, but I would speak to someone @ Child Services or at a local women's shelter to get advice about what should be done, as it sounds like the little girl is obviously being neglected.
Yes, contact social services, you can do it annonimously. No child should be put in danger because there parents are stupid and can't deal with life.
Call the children's services and the cops. It's the right thing to do. That poor little girl. She needs someone looking out for her. Please call them before it turns out to be a tragedy.
If you feel this child is being neglected, yes, report to child protective services. They will investigate the report.
Call DHS or CPS or whatever it is you have in your state and tell them you want to be kept anonymous and let them take it from there, but sometimes the system is a joke.Or I'm sure if you call the cops and tell them you know someone that has a warrant and their child is not being taken care of they will call DHS or CPS...
No child should be missing teeth. I get sooo upset when I see a 5 year old with all their teeth capped...it's like WTF..brush your child's teeth..I just feel sorry for them..I mean it's sad for kids to be seperated from their parents, but it's more sad when children grow up without a fighting chance because their parents are morons..

Good luck with whatever you decide to do..
If you feel the little girl is in danger by abuse or neglect, I would report it to CPS because you don't have to say who you are and they still have to check up on the home of the child. As for calling the cops about someone having warrants?...I would just let the cops handle it because that person WILL be caught, it's' just a matter of time.
if you do say something do with the knowledge that you going to have to watch your back because idiots like the ones your are talking about will retaliate and make your life miserable...
It is so very sad that parents act so self centered and irresponsible-and there are millions of situations like these.

Though you and I feel these are important happenings there is nothing you listed that will probably even get the parents time in jail or the daughter be put in a better home.

I will pray for this precious child. I wish you the best-and may the Lord be with you!
think of what is best for the girl, put yourself in her shoes and how you would fill if your parent put you in danger and also if it comes right down to it he is running from the law , he will sooner or later get cought and she might get taken away if cops see how she is be niglected
i think you should they are just putting her in danger
yes they should be informed for your safe and protection. and in special for you family.
CPS or closest relative should be notified
Can you make a report anonymously? It is not fair that thelittle girl be in that kind of situation. She needs to be in a loving environment where she can be looked after properly.
Just think of the horrible things that could happen if you dont tell anyone. Seriously that should take away any guilt you feel. Just what do think would happen if the child was in the car when the parent got pulled over. Either they could possibly get involved in a chase or the daughter would go through the even more tramatic experience of watching their parent get arrested. Someone has to help this little girl if her parents won't. Bless You.
if something is really wrong just call the child protective service, but sometimes it best for the child to be with their parents than in the system.
there is not much you can do, but if i were you i would inform the cops and let them take care of it! try your best!
I would at least contact the CPS about this there is no reason for this little girl to be suffering. You would be doing them all a favor by contacting someone.
Put it this way. Ask yourself how you would feel if you sat on your hands believing what you believe and then a day, week or month later, something god awful happened to that little girl?
Get in touch with child services if it deems truely needed. Who knows what could happen to that poor child. Get the kid out before we hear on the news that dad beat her to dead or mom drowned her in the bath tub. Give her a chance at life.

Holy **** someone call child services on kyras_mommy121205 she is much to much of an angry person to care for a child. Or maybe someone did thats why shes so bitchy
listen you mind your own buisness...what does this have to do with the child? so what if the house is messy for god sakes if that was a crime a hell of alot of parents would be thrown in jail and the key thrown away!! leave this family alone! seems you want this little girl or something...i suggest worrying about your own affairs rather then everyone elses!! and the kids teeth?? cmon lady! shes a little girl theyre friggin baby teeth..please grow up!..do not hurt this child by breaking her family appart...she will hate you for this!! your not going to hurt the parents like you think you are the only 1 going to be hurt is the child! GET A LIFE HAVE YOUR OWN CHILDREN LEAVE THIS FAMILY ALONE! dumb question!
It is right for a normal thinking feeling human being to be mad and worried for another, especially if it concerns young children.
This might sound harsh, but I think you should call the child care services, there is so many people out there who would love to have a child, and to see parents neglecting their children is shameful
You should be furious!! Please call children's services in your area. Please stand up for the daughter since she can't stand up for herself. Sounds like someone needs to be the ADULT here -- may as well be you since you know the details of the situation!! Children's services will not let them know it was "you that called". There is enough child neglect, endangerment and abuse in this world. In your heart you know the "right" thing to do.
Call CPS and let them know your worrys and conserns and they will go investigate and if they think there is a problem then they will do what is best for that child.Sometimes you need to report it more then once.
Contact Scoial Services! Picture it as if it were your own child/grandchild or relation! Thats horrible.
Most states have an hot line to report child abuse. You don't have to give your name or you can request that it not be released. If you don't protect this child who will?
