[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1351884219' post='837917'] My son is three. I have never seen him without cuts and bruises on his legs since he learned to walk. Also, to the comment regarding not feeding him if he refuses food; so what? That's what you're supposed to do in order not to raise a spoiled little brat of a child, like i see everywhere I go. My son goes to bed without dinner all the time. If he doesn't eat what I give him, he doesn't eat. That isn't child abuse smart guy. Kids can't starve by refusing food now and then. They will get hungry enough to eat eventually. Trust me. The parents that give in to this tactic are being manipulated by a child, and that is the reason we have so many obese children... because the parents claim all they will eat is french fries and Coke. They will eat veggies if they have to. Trust me. Now, only you can be the judge of what's going on there, but make sure it isn't just your own sense of importance driving you, as in "I wouldn't do it that way." If you really think there is a problem, grow a pair talk to the mom about it like an adult. Not in an accusatory argumentative fashion, like an adult. Don't go running off to the State. Last thing, do you have any kids? [/quote]many people in my family has talked to her about it she dont listen, shes a lie, cheats, manipulates people, she calls herself a swinger the list goes on, and to the food thing she didnt feed him till the next night

if dcs does nothing who do i contact next? my little brother is going through the samething and hes 10, my mom does not feed him or cook dinner for him and if he gets his own food she eats it instead and she is never around to take care of him, me and my gf have basically been taking care of him by cooking him dinner etc

forgot to ad my sister is pregnant again with twins, i know shes going to treat them the same way as her current one if not worse

[quote name='101' timestamp='1351878100' post='837858'] Not to be intrusive, does your sister have a job? Or is she being completely supported by the system (tenncare, food stamps, welfare, etc.)? My experience in this area has taught me that DCS will not likely intervene because when they remove a child they charge the parents for child support and cost of custody. If she is already on the rolls then they will eat the cost of intervening with the child. If she had a job or money of her own they would have already acted on the accusations alone. So, until she actually does some severe, noticeable harm....DCS will not likely do anything. [/quote]shes completely on the system, shes just like our mom she has a record so she cant get a job or if she can she is like alot of people who abuse the system and does not want too, i dont even know where shes getting money to move out (well except that she stole my grandfathers 900 dollar ring and he believes she did it but no proof) or to have a one of the pay minute phones or if the way shes getting money is legal or not

[quote name='101' timestamp='1351877163' post='837846'] I would say then, she is not "spanking" the child but striking him and that is unacceptable. [/quote]i have also seen her jerk him by the arm and pick him up and walk off in anger carrying him by the one arm, we also contacted dcs and they sent someone over but my sister just lied through her teeth and the dcs person just laughed and giggled with her over what she was saying, it was a complete joke

[quote name='101' timestamp='1351876111' post='837830'] Contrary to liberal belief, spanking is not illegal. Only time its considered abuse is if the child has bruising or the spanking is elsewhere besides the butt. Now, I'm no lawyer but do have some personal experience with this subject. The law will and can be bent to accuse the parent of anything they want. Common sense should prevail. Just because the child is throwing a huge, loud, obnoxious tantrum when getting spanked does not mean the child is being abused. If the spanking results in bruising then it can be called abuse by the system BUT once again some children bruise very easily. I would mind your own business until there is hard, solid evidence of actual abuse. Once you involve the system, they will make it up as they go along and your relationship with your family is done, forever. The system is set up in the child abuse area so that you will fail, and you will be charged and they have NO I repeat NO oversight to determine if they are not being over zealous. [/quote]she does not spank him on the butt and i have not been around him much but he used to have cuts on his legs ALL the time and she has said its cause he falls ALOT her words not mine

[quote name='gregintenn' timestamp='1351875758' post='837822'] Unless there's more to it than you've posted, I'd suggest you keep quiet and let her be a good parent. Discipline is a part of that. [/quote]oh and she forced the baby to try something he didnt want to try and she told him if he didnt he wouldnt get anything to eat and guess what happend he didnt get anything to eat

[/quote]she lied to a dcs worker saying she does not hit him or goes any where with out him theres more and i have recordings etc of some of the stuff she has done to the baby, she complains about not having money to feed the baby but she uses her foodstamps (dont even get me started on how i feel about that whole thing) to buy food for the "baby" but really its for her and most of the food she "cooks" if you call it that for the baby the baby wont eat it

[quote name='xRUSTYx' timestamp='1351875626' post='837819'] Spanking it a touchy subject. I'm all for it, FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. The goal of the spanking is to teach discipline. Spanking every day = obviously your approach to discipline is wrong, and misguided. IMO - Spanking is the ultimate discipline and should be used as such. When it pains you as a parent to spank your child, that's discipline. If you start to feel anger/relief/enjoyment from spanking your child = borderline abuse. When a child is spanked in the heat of the moment, many times, it can turn abusive. I was taught to allow a good 45-60 minutes of timeout/stay in room/prepare for spanking, prior to the parent/guarding spanking. This not only allows the child to think about what they did and what is about to happen, it also allows the parent to calm down, talk with their child about what they did wrong, and issue discipline correctly with the correct mindset, instead of abusively and taking their rage/anger/resentment out on their child. [/quote]she does her out of anger imo as she yells loud when he does something and then spank him, i dont think she feels any regret as i have heard her say to the child " oh i know mommy is a bad person aint she" in a sarcastically type of tone

we (me and my girlfriend) live in a three story house with my grandparents and sister and her child. now we are on the top floor and she is on the floor below us, now when her 2 year old does something hes not supposed to do we can hear her spank him all the way up here through doors and walls. when should we basically do something? and should we do something? we worry about this child and what might happen when she moves out but were at a loss at what to do! any help or advice anyone can give would be great!
