Ok in all honesty, is it really necessary to call CPS? Like frfr is the baby really in that much danger? Cause this to me sounds a little petty.

Yes contact CPS for a welfare check. They should do visits and kept checking up but you should show them the post of things she says and how the baby looks. Keep that baby safe. Take screen shots of them so you have them in your phone

Geez woman. If youāre that concerned about the wellbeing of an infant. Why are you asking ppl what you should when you shouldāve done something about months ago. How do we as the ppl know what youāre saying is true since youāve had a falling out with them anyway. Besides if youāre that concerned go tell the proper authorities and have them check on the baby themselves so they can determine whether or not the baby is in any sorts of danger. I just hope youāre not saying these things just because youāre being vindictive and jealous. I just hate to see and hear about a baby getting hurt because of idiots

Take all that you have documemted here and contact the proper authorities. Then stop putting it on social media. If what you say is true there could be issues in the future. If something happens to the child do you really want that on your conscience?
You should call CPS or the police even, for a wellness check! I cannot say for sure whether it will go anywhere, but you have valid concerns.

Cyf is where Iād be calling. Save the innocent child. Obviously the parents need some help with child care classes, parenting classes.
Report them for the babyās sake. And if nothing happens, at least you tried. Be prepared to have proof though, you said the parents are manipulative and compulsive liars. If your going to do something, prepared to do it all the way.
Animal abuse goes hand in hand with abuse to children. If an infant is not in a carseat I would call CPS. They will check it put and determine if further action needs taken.
Sounds like you just needed to vent. Unfollow them or report it. You donāt need our advice. Do what feels right.
Please report them for the safety and wellbeing of the baby

You can call CPS but unless thereās immediate, extreme abuse then most agencies simply wonāt do anything. And if there is, she could end up in foster care which may not be a better situation. My best advice is to get back in her life again, as hard as that may be. That way you could assess the situation up close and personal. Sometimes pictures and family gatherings and such only give you the highlight of otherās lives. Being close to her you can do more to help, if help is needed, and as a bonus you get to be around a cute baby!

Whilst I donāt agree on the foods, as you say they themselves are overweight so they may just need re educating on these. Car seat safely is massively important as is the leaving a child unattended with animals. If you canāt speak to her and you have serious concerns you need to report it, educating is key.

Leaving a baby alone with dogs is not necessarily a bad thing. It totally depends on the dog and the dynamic of the dog around the baby. Also a baby on a wheeler could go both ways. Iāve seen people just drive around the yard very slowly holding a baby and they absolutely love it and they were not putting the baby in danger at all. Also as long as the baby is in a car seat (which you said it was) and they had the air bag turned off in the truck then Iām not sure why the pickup truck is a horrible thing. I guess my advice would be to make sure the baby is really in danger before doing something you regret.

If you are that concerned then definitely do call to get the baby checked out and or ask other family members to check. Youāve already said youāve had a falling out with the parentsā¦but damn you sure seem to know a hell of a lot!! Iām really in mixed minds here whever this is fully you are 100% concerned for the child (which if some of this is happening then yes most would be) or if thereās much much more going on and youāre maybe overexagerating a bit , Iāve had fall out with family and they know NOTHING about my family let alone nearly half of what youāve said they have done. So again if you have suspicion or better yet prof get hold of the right people if not, leave them and move on with your life

Ok guys she doesnāt have kids but basically if she did she might be what you would call a nervous nelly mom. Basically if something doesnāt feel right to you then do what you think is best for the child. None of us are there to actually witness whatās really going on and if nothing bad is happening to the child then the parents will have nothing to worry about but if something is then the issues will be rectified.

U need to call child services. U may need to get other people to ring with there concerns too as u do need a lot of proof or a lot of people with same concerns to contact them before they will even consider opening a case.
In my experience parents who are obese and very overweight put all there health issues and bad eating habits onto there kids and the kids end up just like the parents. And itās so sad. Unfortunately this is the way of the world these days.
Good luck

As an aunt if I saw my niece or nephew be treated that way Iād be extremely concerned as well and as a mother Iām even more careful about my baby and sheās 2ā¦simple visits to the pediatrician would be more than enough for them to know itās not healthy to feed your baby junk food all the time they need the nutrition from fruits and vegetables to grow properly or they can have long term effects that can get difficult to manage and if itās below freezing and they arenāt dressing their baby for the weather that is child endangerment and neglectful behavior and someone should call cps because that baby is not protected. Bad terms or not youāre doing the right thing for the child and you shouldnāt feel guilty for standing up for that baby.

I would call for a health check and show them all the pictures with posts but I would be willing to take on the kid with a no contact order til the parents had some classes. A child without a carseat is agents the law and is considered abuse in some states itās also considered abuse if the child can not get proper nutrition depending on the state.

I would call CPS. Not specifically for the unhealthy foods, but the fact that she should not be eating things like that at such a young age (the skittles are especially concerning as a choking hazard) not being properly secured in a vehicle, and not being dressed warm for cold weather.

My best advice is, if you do not agree with their style of parenting just voice your concerns to them and leave it be. Honestly their isnāt much you can do if theyre not physically hurting or neglecting herā¦(yes some choices youve given are frowned up) theyre not breaking any laws until then. While some of their life style seems to bother you there isnt much you can do. Cps isnt going to do much unless there is multiple calls of neglect or abuse. .just try to stay your distance if it bothers you that much(i know it sucks) but just observe the well being of the child and maybe voice your concerns and opinions to someone who is closer with the parents that might be able to nicely give them adviceā¦do other memebers feel the same way you do? Maybe try to get together and help them rather than bashing.
Since this is their first child they may just be winging it and dont know certain things. But they might just raise her how they want and thatās up to themā¦ i know you obviously just care about the child or you wouldnt be asking. So good luck to you and your family. Just try to be peaceful and know the childs safety is first priority.
Further moreā¦their weight has absolutely nothing to do with them as people so lets not start off with that.
Honestly sounds most likely like life and parenting choices that arenāt your business even if you donāt agree with them ā¦if baby isnāt in immediate danger or being abused thatās thatā¦and for the new moms saying Iād never do this or that ā¦I was once you and all I have to say is never say never

My baby had nothing but breastmilk for the first 7 months, but she weighed 22 pounds. All babies are different, and things are not always what they seem. I was accused of giving my baby all kinds of things. The reality was I had super rich breast milk. An occasional cookie is not great, but it certainly isnāt going to harm the child. I think you are letting your dislike of the woman taint your judgment. No one is a perfect parent because everyone parents differently. What you find acceptable might not be for me. However it could still be perfectly safe. Call CPS if you must, but they will find out or have a good idea who called. Expect to be cut from their lives. You could avoid all the drama by leaving their life. I have to think at some point this baby has doctor visits. If anything was wrong, the doctor would report it.
Listen I had my kids eating and trying all kinds of things at 6 months old and they were okay. though I did portion things. I didnt give them tons of sugar and I donāt give them full meals of solid food.i stuck to baby foods until 10-11months.the food isnāt concerning honestly,as long as they have teeth and can chew it they can have, but limits should be made . Now the being out in the cold thing is conserning and the man not wanting to hold his child is strange. Iād give cps a call.

As a new mom with a five month oldā¦ I personally would never do any of that with my baby.
1 - that is a crazy amount of sugar for someone so little.
2 - make up can ruin a babyās skin, cause break outs, rashes, infections, etc.
3 - rear facing car seat at all times. Until about 2! Even if they are just going up the hill! Without a car seat and just a hand is not safe.
4 - baby needs to be dressed appropriately for the day. If itās cold out. Dress accordingly and donāt take pictures outside in cute outfits if the arenāt weather appropriate.
5 - the baby should never be left unattended, unless they are strapped in or in a safe baby friendly environment. While on the floor they could crawl anywhere and hurt themselvesā¦ and the dog wouldnāt be able to help.
I would anonymously call CPS and get them looked at

BUT
Itās a little difficult to say when ur not in the same position or understand ur feelings! But Personally speaking if it felt like my heart couldnāt take it anymore by staying silent, then thereās no questions asked I would speak up and try to do the right thing, not for myself or for that family member BUT for that child. The child is the only thing u should be thinking about. If u feel like not saying anything is going to cause more harm than speaking up and saying something ? then fuck wut anyone else feels do wut u gotta do for that child! Iām seriously hoping for a better outcome than cps taking the child and causing more damage than good, but hopefully the parents can become aware of nutritional guides and other things they may be lacking knowledge inā¦? Good luck make sure to pray on it too!
While the food choice is a concern unless you know for a fact the only thing she gets is ice cream and candy and nothing else along with no well baby checks it has nothing to do with the restā¦ not proper carseat safety however is and in some states if violated to many times they can make parents attend classes or take the kids away of violated to many times ā¦ blankets also a little bit of a concern if they are large enough the baby could die so you could say something about that ā¦ animals and children should never be left completely alone together until the child is big enough to defend or get away incase there would be an attackā¦ you can call CPS if you want to or be nice about it and talk to her about the actual safety concerns you cant do much about supposedly poor nutrition ā¦ i donāt take pictures of my kid eating green beans loll but I have plenty of her destroying a cake or licking the bowl when the ice cream is gone 
that doesnāt mean she gets it 8 times a day tho
This isnt a concern to put on facebook. But anyone who knows first hand if the baby is in danger had an obligation to report it. But please dont make a complaint unless you feel the baby is in danger

I donāt mean to seem rude or come off āeating you up and spitting you outā but you obviously are not a momā¦ both my kids tried things when young. We have a dog that they are often alone with as I have ZERO concern with him around them. Moms do shower and need to be away from their kids sometimes- Iām not going to cage my kids and dog so theyāre separate if they are safe. If you have an animal you donāt trust around your children, maybe itās time to rethink the whole scenario. If she wants to take her child in an off road vehicle she is certainly allowed, itās HER kid. My children have been in our side by side under safe circumstances. It is also legal in most places for a child to be in the front seat of a single cab vehicle. I even have photos of my sons sitting on our snowmobiles and mud trucks, etc., is someone gonna call child services on me too for taking a picture? Guess what, my baby sleeps with a blanket too- he wants to, wonāt sleep without it. And so what, dad sucks and doesnāt helpā¦? That sounds like also not your business. So what are we reporting to dcyf? That someone elseās parenting style doesnāt align with what YOU think parenting should be and youāre not even a mom? Come back once you enter motherhood and let us know how youād feel if someone called on you for this stuff. Let her mother HER child and you worry about you.

Wow, super poor food choices. Everyone parents differently. It seems like youāre more annoyed and looking to expose dirt than an actual concern for the baby. If you really believe the child is being abused then put in a call. I would secondly check your motives. Are you annoyed at them for not sharing in your perspective on certain topics? Is it more important for you to be right and to show everyone how disdainful these people are? Has the child ever been beaten or has any medical needs gone without care? Was she left outside in freezing weather? Are the living conditions hazardous? Is there alcohol or drug abuse? Is there parental domestic violence? Sexual abuse? If these are no answers, then itās most likely that these people are just annoying with sub-par parenting skills.

Ok. First off. If the baby is a girl, the amounts of sugar she is consuming can cause test infections, utis, diabetes. Boys it can cause utis and diabetes.
The makeup. If itās adult make up. It has been fda approved. Itās childās make up you need to be concerned about as itās considered costume make up and not regulated.
It is 100% legal to have a car seat in a single cab truck if it has the anchors and the back strap. Itās not preferred. But it is allowed.
The riding on dirt roads not strapped in is clearly an issue, but if it is on their property itās legal.
The weather stuffā¦ not a good idea for any child.
Leaving alone with dogsā¦ I mean, most dogs are goodā¦ I wouldnāt do it, but idk the dogs. Thereās only 1 dog Iāve ever trusted around my child alone, and itās a dog I trained (I train a lot of dogs).
A lot of the things you mentioned arenāt things you can really do anything about. The vehicle stuff maybe. But not unless you have 100% proof.
I wouldnāt get involved personally. I know as a mother, there are things I do Iām sure others wouldnāt agree with. Or would do them selves.
But in all reality, a lot of this stuff isnāt āillegalā minus the vehicle stuff, and even then It would likely be a warning. Then you become the horrible family member who called the cops/cps.
Delete the person, remove them completely.

Feeding a kid junk food is not abuse, and will not get the baby taken away. As a parent, you have the right to feed your kid what you want as long as they are being fed. Sad, but true. Being in a car seat in a single cab truck is 100% legal, was told as much by the sheriffās department and fire department. I have a single cab truck and a car, depending on who our son is with, depends on what vehicle he is in. Nothing can be done about that. Putting make-up on a baby is again, not abuse. Nothing will be done about it. Unless thereās proof of them having her underdressed for extended periods of time in cold weather, a picture of her on a truck isnāt going to do much in most cases. Is there proof of her being left alone with dogs? Do you have proof of how long? Where the parents were? If not, nothing can be done. If thereās pictures, obviously someone was with her. Could maybe get a welfare check for the enclosed off-road vehicle issue, but thereās not much CPS can do about it without proof, and even with proof, Iām not sure they can do anything about it. As long as the father hasnāt harmed other children or her, thereās nothing they can do about it. Him not wanting to hold her until she was 5+ months is a non-issue and they wonāt care. Could maybe get a welfare check for the blankets, but at 8 months thatās kind of up to the parents discretion. And them being overweight has no bearing.
