My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: tennessee i was ask to keep a 3 week old while the mother went to rehab she came home after 6 days and has took the child back and forth from her home to mind and has been leaving him with me longer and longer each time and now shehas left him with me for going on a week with no contact and i know where she is and what she is doing and i have reported it to the dcs investigator that is on her case and he told me to just keep him with me as long as i can i want to know what action i can take to have the child permanently with me so it will stop being bounced around
