(21,236 posts)Those children need to stay with their mother who is probably struggling to do the right thing as by as much as she can, and you want to throw these kids to the hell that is the foster care system?
Also, depending on the state, but most states use the rule that if there is someone 10 years or older in the home, they are considered capable of caring for those younger than them who reside in the home.
Who the hell made you the person in charge of this family? And, instead of trying to break them up, why are you not finding a way to help them, if you think they need assistance?
And, the person who said that the mother is obviously irresponsible (that would be CaliforniaPeggy who said that right at the start), obviously has no heart about the family, the kids, and absolutely no grasp of what it's like to be a single mom doing the most she can.
Live in absolute need and struggle, and then speak to what this single mom is doing to raise her family. Unless you have seen it, experienced, you know nothing about living on the edge of being homeless with kids.
Also, mopinko, you really need to learn how to write.
