My question involves whether I can get costudy of my little brother for being neglected?
Recently I've been to my mothers house. She is married with three adult girls and one 4 year old boy. My brother is constantly running where he pleases. My mother and father have a serious case of roaches and for years they've done nothing to get rid of them. That is a form of neglect.
Lately my mother and father have been lazy. They will not clean their house and they sit on their computer or the are arguing with the two girls about stupid things. Mind that he is four and can't take care of his self.
He is still in diapers and when he uses the bathroom they leave it on him but no more than two or three hours. Still, an hour is to long. My mother is chemically imbalanced and can't do it on her own. However my father is big and lazy and doesn't want to work even though he is able.
I am 21, going on 22, I've been living on my own now with my fiancé who has a steady job of three years. We've been living here for about a year now. We've got an apartment with two bedrooms and they are nice.
My question is, can me and my fiancé, once we are married, if someone is called in, can we take costudy of him? I know it would go to next Kin and since her sisters all have 4 children them selves and the grandmothers are to old to care for them, wouldn't the eldest daughter be the one to get him?
