call social services with regards to my neighbors (not the music man the other ones)

they are a young couple who spend their days drinking getting stoned and tearing chunks out of each other, the only thing is they have a little baby boy whos in the flat while they are doing these things,

points of view please??

Personally i would if you think the child is at risk you can make an anon referral.

I would personally. It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a baby involved but there is and he's obviously at risk and may not be being looked after properly

I would do too! Its not a nice thing to do, but they wont know thats it you who have said anything to the social services as you do it annonymously.

I would i'd have to just in case something more serious happened x x

i would call social services because it would awful if something happened to the wee boy....i mean, there are so many nasty storys on the telly about neglect etc.

It is better to be safe than sorry (not an easy thing for you to do )

Since there is a child involved, I would definitely have to call social services. If they are beating up each other and getting drunk/stoned, who is to say one day they do not one day hurt the baby (if they have not already done so)

its so horrid, i used to look after him when he was small (hes about 7months now)and he was in nappys that were too small and his clothes were always dirty.... i used to talk to them but fell out with them after a massive row cause i was sick of hearing them batter eachother...

Do it hun...

If i was genuinly worried for the child then yes i would. They shoudln't b in that situation, and the nappies /clothes thing is awful.The thing that disturbs me more though is do social services not know already? Surely the health visitor has had somethin to say?? I'm not an expert in this field but i would have thought someone in the health trust has raised eyebrows?
