    Default How to Help Neglected Children

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Maine

    I need help knowing what to do. I have three nephews and 4 is on the way. And they are very neglected. They sit in front of a tv all day and sleep. They put there youngest child who is 2 in his crib all day locked in his room. He doesn't talk. I taught him how to walk at the age of 18-19 months. He is very over weight.

    The middle child I have have him a lot. The longest time I have have had him was almost about two weeks. We by him shoes clothes and before I potty trained him diapers. I don't know if there is any abuse in the house but that could be a possibility. There dad is high all the time smoking right in front of them with clouds of smoke in there face. He spray paints in the house and screams at them all day. They never go outside they need help please give me some ideas.

    Have you reported the alleged neglect?

    Based solely on what you've said here, they're simply lazy parents - not abusive, and not neglectful by legal standards.
