Call CPS with your concerns. Tell them should neglect charges be filed and the child is to be removed from the home, you’re willing to take her in

We tried everything, spent $$ on lice removal places and it didn’t work for my daughter. So in talking to the school nurse she suggested cetaphil facial cleanser, the thick face wash not foaming, and let it sit for as long as we could then rinse. It got rid of the lice!

Turn in the parents to cps. This will give grounds for them to lose custody.

First get all your ducks is a row, document EVERYTHING! I can’t stress that part enough! Then you go to the court house and apply for emergency custody. Once you file CPS will get involved and go from there but either way get some treatment for that baby’s hair then keep tea tree oil and put it in the baby’s shampoo.

I would call cps and go from there
Document EVERYTHING. Time and dates as well. Notify CPS and hand them over your documentation. Ask the child questions about her home life and record her answers. Once CPS has been notified, let them know that you are wanting and willing to foster her until adoption is an option.

Okay let’s start with,
Lice likes clean hair,
I won hundred percent understand where you’re coming from, but everything you listed does not make a parent an unfit parent… oddly enough 
My suggestion is google what makes it unfit parent in the state you’re in,
It sounds like you’re saying either you guys take custody of baby girl or you don’t wanna have nothing to do with her… just because you’re worried about your daughter is beautiful long hair? 
seriously 
Why does she not have clothes and shoes that fit??? I mean seriously? If mom and dad can’t afford them? There’s nothing wrong with that but that’s when family member step in and help out not try to take peoples kids away…

you need to make a report to child protective services first. Coming from someone that works in that field, you need to just start with that call and go from there

Okay, so this is going to be sad for you but leave your niece with her mama. Lice isn’t considered child abuse or neglect. You need to understand that it will be super traumatic for her. You will literally cause her more harm than good in this situation.

I think try petitioning to get her and explain to them all this and provide pictures
Call cps so it can be acknowledged that something is going on in the house with that child, so they can investigate, the problem. You can report it annimous or tell them who you are. You may have a better chance of getting her with their help.

Head lice is not something dhs will do anything about unless there is neglect involved. Not where I live anyways
How about instead of making her stay at a park all day she can still pass lice on at the park hair put up or not my daughter has hair past her bottom she got lice from school once a week for a entire school year come to find out the school wasn’t treating the classroom or checking any other heads I would do her hair nothing in it not a egg one the same day she went back to school I took her into office and made them check her head they found absolutely nothing said I did an amazing job well guess what by lunch time I got a call my daughter pulled a bug the size of Texas out her hair we knew then it was a school problem I was doing her head so much the dr said to stop I. Could poison her the dr sent a letter to school board and the entire school was shut down for a week to clean and spray it we never had a problem again that was 3rd grade we are in 6th now so instead of shunning this child to the park take her home with you treat her hair leave her with your fiance and go to her home and help the parents clean sanitize and strip her bedding wash it show them they have help and maybe this is what they need help are they young parents is it their first child maybe they are struggling instead of judging help this child by being that person now once you have helped I mean really helped and the issues still continue then you need to take further action Could it be they are young and struggling financially and mentally why don’t you offer some real help instead of oh look I kept her all day with lice at rhe park look I’m the good guy no your doing the bare minimum right now but want to throw rocks at someone else your no better you have let it go on for a year and all you have done is to isolate her to the park you aren’t any better at this point so instead of complaining about it be a part of the solution

Lice? Seriously? You’re trying to take someone’s kid away because of lice, clothes that don’t fit, and shoes that don’t fit?? Ever think maybe the parents are poor and struggling?

To the ones saying “Do a lice treatment”, doing a lice treatment and then sending her back to the same environment where she got them isn’t going to help much, she’ll be reinfested. I think you mean well and I think you’re just frustrated so your tone came out a little harsher than you intended. Just call cps, and they will make the parents have to clean up literally and figuratively, if and only if they aren’t willing to do better then cps will take them, this is where you step in if you are willing to treat her the same way you treat your own children. If you can’t, she will be no better off with you either.

It sounds like a story that sends you straight to CPS. That poor baby girl does need immediate help! So a phone call is all it would take and u can ask them to place her with u but I’m soooo sad for her…she doesn’t understand…I know what ur saying about ur girls but u hanging out at the park while she at ur house isn’t going to work…she needs to have her hair done with lice shampoo and or each individual hair picked for the eggs and bugs…to remove any and all traces of bugs, not to mention how every single material items and bedding and couches needs to be cleaned…good luck…I sure hope some1 does get the poor baby girl real help cause whoever her “parents” are abandoned their job

You need to report it to child services. They will investigate and they will take her out of the unhealthy Environment. You need to state that y’all want her. Stick together on the matter! I hate to hear stuff like this. I was a day care provider. I’ve been involved with this kind of Situation! I wish y’all good luck. And pray that it turns out for what it best for the little girl

If they are not treating her or their home and themselves then she week never get rid of it. I don’t think this is just about lice. I think this is straight up neglect. No proper clothing shoes etc. I would file a report to CPS immediately. None of us know eggs goes on behind closed doors.

Oh how I feel for this little girl and you being at your wits end . If you have already Really tried to explain to her mother that her child’s hair needs to be treated and treated properly ! She must have such an itchy head and Thank God is too young to feel dirty . I was in a bad position for a few months and in a very weird relationship with a man who was still very close to his previous girlfriend and unfortunately and sadly they at the time were both addicted to heroine but I did not know and No I am not stupid they were very good at hiding it but when my boyfriend caught headline from his former girlfriend They would not treat their hair . They didn’t think it was needed to be combed carefully through their very long hair of course I kept getting the lice back even through I’d treated it and cleaned all linen and it got to the point that I had scabs on my head from scratching Thank God I found another house to live in and it is in my name so I kicked boyfriend out and would Not let him back to the house until he had a certificate saying he was clear of lice . They are horrible to have and deal with lazy , dirty idiots who wouldn’t clear their heads from them . This little girl is going to need a lot of love and nurturing and if you feel you can’t do this for and love her as much as you love your children she will feel it but I do really think it needs to be reported for the child’s sake and health and wellbeing But please don’t take this child on Unless you know you and your husband can give her both of your Everything and it’s a very big decision for the 2 of you to make so please make sure that you are both up to it and good luck

With the other things you shared, you may need to make a call to DSS for a child welfare check. Maybe they can help if there is nothing else going on.
The whole time my kids did distant learning, they were never sick and didn’t have lice once. Now that they’ve started back again, they have had lice consta-fking-ly, and it’s always some visits going around…I also let my kids dress themselves so no they don’t always match and it’s not always nice clothes 
their hair isn’t always perfect bc I don’t brush theirs except my littles shoot me

Cps can’t disclose who calls. I’d make the call and be that child’s voice!
You should get a foster care license so she can be put in your care
I’m way less worried about your children getting head lice and more worried about the health and well-being of a 3 year old who is clearly being neglected at home in more ways than one. I mean, to a group of complete strangers, you could have at least TRIED to sound less worried about your own kids and more worried about this poor child. Anyway, I do believe there are people just not equipped to be a parent and if you think this is the case and you think involving Child Services will do more good for the child than it will harm, then I recommend doing so. Once Child Services evaluates the living situation, if they decide it’s not a safe environment, the first thing they will do is look for family willing to take the child in. You can’t just decide to take custody. You don’t have that right and that’s not how that works unless the parents agree to terminate their rights or otherwise let you take over as guardian. CPS will take the case to a judge and the judge along with the case worker assigned, will basically issue an order the child is to live with you until the parents are deemed fit. They will be given a window of time along with a laundry list of chores that are required to be completed before reunification can occur. If the parents don’t comply with any of the requirements and show no effort, the reunification window will close and they will move toward adoption, at which point you and your husband will be able to legally adopt the child after completing your very own laundry list of requirements. If you don’t think you are capable or are not willing to comply with all the hoops you need to jump through, please do not offer to take this baby. Imaging the trauma of being taken from your parents. They are all that poor baby knows and regardless of the neglect we see, that baby looks at them like they are the light of her life. It’s not going to be easy on you. You will be the one dealing with the aftermath of that trauma, the big empty space where Mommy and Daddy used to be. You will need to fill that space, with love, be nurturing, calm, patient. You will need to be a little more gentle than you sound in this post. You either love and care for her the same way you love and care for your own children, or don’t get involved in terms of custody/adoption at all. At the end of the day, that little girl needs to be somewhere she is loved, cared for, and important.

Maybe talk to her parents about letting her live with you. Maybe they would let her. Doesn’t seem like they care for her much. Idk if you can get custody unless you are related and CPS deems the parents unfit but that I don’t know for sure. Maybe contact a lawyer.

Don’t send her back call cps and let them know they will place her with family before they would put her in the system
I have family that had to due it sorry for this little girl prayers for her 
You need to go to your county Family Court and file a petition for emergency custody and file neglect charges against her parents. Be prepared for a fight and long dragged out process. The court will appoint the child with their own lawyer.
