re: To call Child Protective Services or not?

If I was going to make a call, it'd probably to the cops first. They see more situations like this, and theyshould be able to determine if this is "normal" in "your neighborhood."

Good advice.

I called the police once on my neighbor after he came home drunk with the kids in the car. He had hit the curb at the gas station and came home on just his rim. Heard the kids screaming and what not once I came outside to check on the commotion of the rim on the pavement.

The police came out for a "welfare" check. Nothing happened to him from the police, but his wife's friend saw the police there and told her about it. She filed for divorce a few weeks later. True story, and CSB, I know.
