Dear Tessa,
You can call 1800-4 A Child (National Child Abuse Hotline)
Someone is available to take your call 24/7.
Document anything that is abusive, dangerous, neglectful, etc. to present to the proper authorities.
Take photos of any injuries or things that back up your claims.
Keep telling people until someone does something to help your friend and her family.
Here are some other resources for information, advice and support:

you just have to keep calling dhs. but if that still doesn't work, call the police and explain the situation. the police will definitely take action. |

Okay what you need to do is have the friend that the mother hit tell the child services. From there she will need to tell them EVERYTHING that goes on in the house. If she tells them how abusive her mom is and that noone is happy there they will take her out. Even if she does love her mom this needs to be done. Its the best for everyone. |

Like the post above, keep contacting the DHS, otherwise give the police a call.
Unfortunately, if the mother of your friend does not want have her parental rights taken away your friend will not be able to adopted, however, your parents could become foster parents and raise your friend. Then once your friend is of legal age they will be able to decide whether they want to be adopted by your parents or someone else for that matter, or to let things be as they are. Cause once your friend is of legal age they will not need their biological mother to sign over parental rights because well your friend would be an adult and old enough to decide for themselves.
Best of luck. |

Funnily bipolar people can function very well if they taking medicines very regularly. This woman needs to get on her meds !!!
My good friend is bipolar and her toddler since birth is being raised by her in-laws. I used to feel angry with her for not raising him herself. After reading your story and how she could be danger to her son if she became irresponsible about her meds i see her point. |
