Okay something that you have to consider is that you don't really know what sort of steady income is coming into the house. And if the mother has a child and the child's father is dead, isn't the child receiving SS Death Benefits from the father? Are you speaking of the s. a. babymama when you say "she was living off her dad's ss"? If you mean your niece, why isn't she still receiving the benefits? Why would that have stopped "until recently"? If this family group is receiving public assistance of some kind, they are already on the radar of several government agencies, there will be work requirements for adults who are able but can't and won't work. And a little girl receiving social security death benefits from a deceased parent is quite a cash cow for the family. They will not relinquish the child easily.
Without some sort of documentation of new problems, since the past reports and apparent investigations were not enough to remove the child from the home, without a new
record of the child's abuse and/or neglect, some investigation and documentation, you won't be able to just "get a lawyer" and sue for custody successfully. What you have is a lot of vague, general concerns based on your perceptions from mostly second hand stories. This family member from her family who is filling your heads with these stories is probably mad at her family member, trying to get her in trouble, and if there are no documented reported problems, your concern about who the child is being exposed to, how the child is doing in school, etc. are just that, concerns. They aren't likely to be enough to get you guys custody. Though you can certainly discuss this with an attorney.
