    Default How to get my cousins out of abusive and dysfunctional home

    Hello my name is Ashley and I live in California my problem and my family has been going on for years. My cousins are going on 15, 13, and 4 years of age this year and live in a bad situation. Their father has been in and out of prison, jail, and have faces many charges of abuse, drugs, getting caught w/ prostitutes, anything you can think of he has been there. He was last in jail in Arizona where he and my aunt and cousins lived. I was busted once again and this time it was because of fraud. His father once again dropped charges so he got off once again and now is back in Colorado where his family moved back. He is back on drugs once again he has been a drug addict for 30 years plus. These children have been abused physically and emotionally and I fear the 2 girls may have been sexually molested. The social worker has been called so many times I lost count but the children are so scared they wont tell the truth when they come to help. Their mot mother has been beaten so many times we have lost count. The children are failing miserably and the 15 will be a high school drop out before he even enters. I believe there is hope for these children and we can take them and raise them and help them get through and be successful, they always commit how they wish they could live w/ us. My family and I are capable of raising all 3 of the children and we love them they are our heart! I have been told there is nothing we could do because they are feed and have a roof over their head. That can not be true my greatest fear is they will be greatly harmed in the end due to their fathers crazy attitude and their mothers will to look the other way. PLEASE HELP ME SAVE THESE CHILDEREN! Is there anything I can do to try and start to gain custody and can someone really get the truth of theses children out they are so scared help them.

    They aren't old enough to emancipate, and protective services is already involved. That severely limits your family's options. The best path would probably be for the mother to voluntarily give you guardianship while the father is incarcerated. (Or for them both to grant a guardianship.)
