the police have been called to their house several times in the past but the children and mother are too scared to say anything.
they are a cambodian family that immigrated here when the children were young. the parents don't speak much english, but the father understands a lot more than he lets on. he threatens them all right in front of the police because they dont understand what he's saying in cambodian.
another child has already been taken out of the house and is living with her older sister
being foreigners i don't know that the police even care to do much, they have never brought an interpreter with them when they go there.
the neice i'm talking about has been staying with different friends.
whats worse is now she is with a boy who is 22 and he is basically homeless and has been involved in stealing.
