    Malnutrition? Really?

    If Mom doesn't do anything, she is going to be seen as EQUALLY neglectful. It actually takes quite a lot before a child becomes clinically malnourished.

    Can YOU help her, Tyler?

    Malnutrition may have been a bit severe a word to use, but I have heard all of the children complain of stomach pains from hunger, and, especially from the oldest child, weight loss.

    In terms of how much I can do, there really isn't much. She lives all the way across the country from me. I really wish there was something I could do.

    What can she do? She wants the children to stay in a house and be loved, but she cant, from all of his control.

    What's your actual relationship to her?

    Please bear in mind that if the kids are in school, malnutrition and/or obvious weight loss will be noted - and the employees are mandated reporters. CPS will be notified if there is cause for concern.

    Are you 100% sure you're getting the whole story here?
