Dear God, if only...
She was telling me about how her toddler son fell off the back steps and bashed his head on the sidewalk. Then she said that "he didn't cry was moving his jaw weird" so she RUSHED HIM TO THE CHIROPRACTOR!
I held back the urge to scream as I loudly and incredulously asked "Why the chiropractor??? You should have gone to the hospital????" but only got an "oh he was fine, tee hee!"
She's putting her poor kids in danger with her horseshit beliefs, and I can't do anything about it.
Fucking infuriating.
I just avoid ever interacting with her now.
I do believe that not bringing an injured child to the emergency room is legally considered child neglect in Canada and in the US. You can still anonymously tip off CPS investigators about her.
As long as those kids are clothed & fed, CPS will do nothing.
But I might put in a tip just to say that I've done something.
Also, I know she's doing other weird shit. But my family tells me to mind my own business and "that's just how her family chooses to live their lives."
Gave my SIL a warning when I saw she was letting her kid have a Tiktok account at 10 years old. "It's just an app that posts dance videos!" Wow surprise when she caught her posting VERY inappropriate videos of herself later and talking to MUCH older men.
I fucking hate how my siblings choose to raise their kids.
My hope is that they'll find out something else you didn't know about and get the children removed from her. If she's being medically negligent, what else is she doing to them?
