3 mandated reports called on family in the last month and nothing was done. what's the point of reporting abuse and neglect when nothing is done. there is a family that i know and everytime there is a report the case worker will call and not bother to show up to check on the child safety. im talking about a 6-year-old girl having to share a bed with a 40-year-old woman who abused the child in the past and child has openly stated that she is afraid of the women. 10 people, 6 cats, and 1 dog living in a 1 room hotel. children with 500-600 live lice in the children hair for more then 5 years. i have made multiple report and nothing is done. whats it going to take for one of these children to die for anything to be done.
