Should I call CPS on the family I babysit for?

Just take him to the doctor he probably is asthmatic

Please dont call cps it wont help at all. Ask for the dr info or ask her to put you on the list of people who can take the baby in and go from there.

I never smoked and my baby had breathing problems. Don’t call CPS. Sit down and tell her your concerns.

I feel like you’re making a lot of assumptions based off watching this child a handful of times.
Smoking around a child is not illegal in most places whether you agree or not.
Babies get dirty. If his clothing was dirty again that’s not a cps issue. He is 1. They get filthy quite quickly.
Wheezing in and of itself is not a medical emergency if no other symptoms are present. You have no idea if she took him to the doctor yet. She very well could have. If he was struggling to breathe like you claim then you’re just as bad as she is for posting on Facebook instead of seeking help for a medical emergency. But I am assuming you’re exaggerating since he didn’t pass out from a lack of oxygen when you watched him all day.
You saw evidence you assume is from her smoking weed yet you have zero proof that she did so.
You’re making a lot of assumptions and judgments based on no facts or evidence.
A mom admitting she is overwhelmed and not sure what she is doing doesn’t make her a bad parent.
Offer her help and talk to her. See if she needs help locating a doctor or if she already addressed the issue of wheezing. One of my kids constantly wheezes. She is totally fine. If the baby isn’t coughing or snotty it’s not an illness that requires medical attention and will pass on its own. Not everyone rushes to the doctor at every sniffle. A phone call to the doctors would suffice in some cases which you have no idea if she did that either you’re only assuming she didn’t address it.
If you’re that worried because you feel that the baby is sick then communicate that to mom while baby is in your care and tell her she’ll need to get baby take him to doctor to be examined and being a note stating he is not contagious. But even that is overstepping if it’s a case of exaggeration…
That’s what’s wrong with the world these days. No one communicates and they judge others without doing anything to help or knowing all the facts.

Oh my god. I cannot believe the amount of comments saying call Cps. Lol people are CLUELESS, uneducated and misinformed. Cps helps a very very very small amount of kids. There are few decent case workers/families. I am a product of the system. ALL THESE KIDS GET ABUSED/TORTURED/RAPED. LIFE WITH CPS IS PURE HELL. THEY CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD. THEY DESTROY ENTIRE FAMILIES. STOP :stop_sign: THINKING THAT CPS IS GOOD.
MY MOM WAS 10000 PERCENT UNFIT. BUT GUESS WHAT? WE WOULDA BEEN BETTER OFF AND HAPPY THERE THAN IN THE SYSTEM. A LOT OF THESE KIDS GET TRAFFICKED!!! STOP CALLING CPS. THEY ARE THE ENEMY!!! EDUCATE YOURSELF OF THE DANGERS OF CPS. LOOK UP CPS NEWS NETWORK ON FB.

Speak to a family member about it and then report to cps if someone don’t step In and take that baby

Mama should have medicaid on him. If so just take him. Hes a child in your care in distress, you have the right to get him emergency medical treatment. As far as the weed goes, if its just weed, i wouldnt mention it. Just that you know she used to smoke around him and arent sure if it contributed to it. If you tell cps shes using “drugs” theyll take the kid and you wont see him anymore. I personally dont consider weed a drug but its legal here so :person_shrugging: she may be young stupid and overwhelmed. Daddy may have ran off, you dont know the full story. Leave kindness in your wake. My only advice. Sit down with mom for a serious talk as well for sure.

Maybe befriend her, if she just moved here it sounds like she has no one. It isn’t an excuse but maybe she just doesn’t know any better and needs a kick in the rear. The dr thing do it as “I know you are a single working mom, can I set him up an apt and take him?”

Tell her you will go with her to doctors. Offer to take her. Maybe have lunch afterward or something to encourage her. If she doesn’t comply I would call CPS.

Take that baby to the er, call his mother…then try Sitting the mom down and talk to her don’t sugar coat it, be real… Maybe she’s a new mom and doesn’t know what she’s doing, maybe she’s an addict that needs help but don’t know how to ask for it… Yes CPS could help but they could also do much worse… Keep in the back of your mind this mother is probably alone, scared…

Im a recovering addict, I’ve dealt with CPS 3 times in the last 6 years… My kids never got took away except this last time, and my whole case was bullshit was literally built on he said she said crap…i did everything I was supposed to do, they had zero solid evidence against me but still wouldn’t close the case… A little after a year it was finally closed… And now cause of that one phone call that was made because my mom and child’s father (my ex) we’re mad the call was made and my ex told me the reason the call was made is cause of my past with drugs, although him and I were both on the needle almost 7 years ago… That phone call that shouldn’t have been made has completely messed my 6 year old son up mentally, he has panic attacks now when I’m out of his sight… Granted CPS did help me get into therapy, and I still go even though my case has been closed… Moral of the story… Don’t assume anything.! Yes definitely get the baby looked at, but unless you physically see this mother hurt or neglect the baby don’t call it could cause more harm than good… Just talk to her, put yourself in her shoes for a minute. Be there for her and the baby, you don’t know her situation.

If you are a licensed daycare then you are mandated to turn her in. If you are not licensed you still should turn her in. Someone has to cate about these kids.

Whatever you do do not stop looking after him he’s needs someone in his couner. Maybe get the police to do a welfare check and then the police can go from there explain why.

You probably can’t take him to the doctor. Most places require the parent to sign a form with the names of people who can.
You could probably do the ER but they will call his mother for permission to treat.

By far most this child needs to see a dr and that’s what matters. His breathing is a big issue.

Yes absolutely call cps. You cannot legally take him to the dr without the mother’s consent.

How are you all saying don’t call? On the basis of his car seat being out of date was my reason right there. It’s illegal. She stated he was dirty and didn’t have clothes. There’s a reason. Call them what are you waiting for it doesn’t help

You can anonymously call. It sounds like the mom is having a hard time but if something happens to the baby, you’ll be kicking yourself forever for not reporting it. Maybe approach her about it - nicely first. Like “hey i noticed he’s still having trouble with his breathing. Since you are new here, i have an amazing pediatrician if you need one. I could always take him if you need” “hey i noticed that the car seat is expired. this can be so harmful if an accident happens. Have you thought about getting a new one? I could find some good ones that are affordable”

Yeah, I would say call them. You’ve already said something to her and it did nothing. Make the report and ask to stay anonymous so you can keep being his sitter… chances are they will come talk to her and hopefully make her get him a doc appt. They probably wont remove the child from what you are saying but they may be able to get her to get her head out of her ass by scaring her a bit

Yall are so dumb… “oh let’s call cps because her car smells like smoke but you haven’t witnessed a damn thing”… just wow

I would talk to her again. Voice your concerns that he isn’t very clean and needs to see a doctor. If she doesn’t get him to the doctor call cps.

They won’t doing anything I seen this situation before .

I see no reason for you to post this and wait to read and decide what to do wtf just call CPS and do the right thing

As a mandated reported, there is only one option you can do before you call cps. Ask her if she needs help figuring things out. If she says yes gimme what you got and help me, it is likely a case of a young mom not understanding what she is meant to do, if she says no, call cps while you have the child and tell them to come over to your house asap and check the child and give them the information. If she just needs help understanding bc she grew up in a household that thought was was okay is one thing, but refusing help when she has already stated that she doesn’t know what to do is a cps call.

In my state, I am a mandatory reporter as a care giver. You call and they will determine if it is necessary to visit them. If you even consider calling for a second, it’s best to call and let them sort it out. The state typically wants to keep families together. It sounds like she could use some guidance and some resources. Prepare to never see them again after the call is made. Sometimes that is the hardest part.

Talk to the mom, get the Drs info, learn the laws in your state to find out if ALL adults are mandatory reporters or not (some states it is only professionals, others it is ALL adults) take the poor thing to the doctor, TELL THE DOCTOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE OBSERVED and depending on if you state has all adults as mandatory reporter or not, let that decide if you call the authorities yourself or if you let the doctor decide.
Also, if you are concerned about the child going from a bad situation to a worse one, petition for temporary or emergency custody yourself when you do.

Also never stop babysitting that child once CYS get involved they can run your background if that baby needs to be placed and you do not have no CYS past or present cases and you do not use drugs you could foster that baby till the mom gets the help she needs.

Have a conversation with the mother and make sure you’re not coming off as confrontational or judgey. Explain to her that you’re willing to take child to Dr bc you and your son have history with breathing issues. Explain to her how it feels to not be able to breath and make sure she imagines how her child is feeling. Offer to help her in any way you’re willing to. Have you people never heard of postpartum? She could just need a genuine person in her life/friend. Being a single mother of 3 and a full time employee i think a little more kindness would be the solution. Aren’t we adults? Have we never had tough times? Kindness would change this whole world.

Speak to mom in a nice way. Ask her if she’s okay with you taking him to the doctor. Make it so she feels okay and calm. Get whatever info you need. Do some research. If she agrees, go from there. If she doesn’t, call CPS. I saw someone ask if she’s prescribed the Mary Jane, even if she is, she should still not be smoking around the baby. Period! Doesn’t matter if it’s legal. Second hand smoke (MJ, Ciggs) can do so much damage. Especially to a baby still developing. Protect the child.

I would start writing down what has been bothering you about the baby’s condition, especially if it’s getting worse. Put the dates down as well. Sometimes I’m against CPS due to some cases where people are just being vindictive and are just trying to be spiteful… However you are coming from genuine concern it sounds like. I don’t work for CPS but I work for healthcare. Children being around smoke whether it’s a cigarette or marijuana especially in enclosed areas is very unhealthy and she’s coating the child’s lungs in tar. Not to mention the car seat being outdated. I know a car seat is a car seat however there’s a reason why there’s an expiration dates on them. They can malfunction in a car accident and can cause long term damage and even death. With all this being said it’s all up to you. You can talk to her more and if she’s not taking to heart what you are saying for maybe a month, I would strongly consider calling CPS… I know why everyone is saying don’t call CPS, but if she genuinely cares about her child she will change her habits or fight for her child to come back to her.

Cps is something that u shouldn’t take lightly if she’s a single mom shits already hard enough. See if she’ll allow u to take him to the drs or atleast make the appointment. It’s starting r.s.v. season or it could be allergies. If the Dr thinks there’s a reason to call c.p.s they will trust me.

Have an uncomfortably Stern talk with the mother before you call please. These agencies can be a complete nightmare. But as much as I hate them and don’t trust them… If she is not listening when it’s made very clear… Then I agree. And I very rarely agree about calling children and youth. But I do urge you to pressure her without the legal pressure 1st

After 10 years working in family law I know for certain that baby is not going to get better care with CPS. Actually the baby might end up dead in their care. CPS has proven to be unreliable at protecting children. Maybe since the mother is new to the area she is still getting doctors and insurance lined up. The single mother needs guidance and help not CPS. If you want to help this baby, help the mom. Sounds like the mom is struggling and stressed maybe why she is using marijuana to combat the stress. Maybe find some places that will help the mom with baby clothes and a car seat. If it doesn’t work out on helping her, stop watching the baby and mind your own business.

Idk where you are but… in a lot of places you can not take a child that you do not have any type of custody of to the dr… at the hospital they will not treat them without permission of the parent or guardian … as long as they are stable… and if wanted to they could make ur life hell for trying to break hippa… as you have no legal right to the child you have no right to know any type of health information UNTIL the parent tells you…

Best bet would be to tell her he really needs to see a doctor, and keep pushing for it… find out if she needs help paying for the doctor or meds, ask if he’s already been and maybe the meds just isn’t working, offer to help anyway you can without calling dfs… if she’s a single mom that would be the last thing she needs…

And to the one that said it’s a felony to smoke with a child in the car… again depends on where they are at as it is only passed in 9 states….

Don’t call CPS. Take him to the hospital. Tell them what’s going on. They will give you what he needs. You need to tell her after taking him how serious it is that she’s smoking around him like that.

Be an adult…Maybe the mother was not taught how to do things as you may have.
Does sound like you care so talk with her and ask if there is anything needed at her home to help her…
Taking a child away from her could make the situation worse…
Be kind … Life is already hard on every one…
Some mommy’s just don’t grow up with the right things in life that are so important to raise a child as a working single mother…

DCFS isnt going to do anything if that’s your argument. Two, CPS mean well but the foster system is severely corrupt. If youd listened to the many cases of severe neglect within foster homes as I have, CPS would be the last people I’d call.

On the subject of weed, answer me this: do you get a full tummy from smelling food? No? Exactly. Just like you dont get high from the scent of weed, it’s just smelly.
While its frowned upon to smoke indoors with children, especially asthmatics its not CPS worthy. Thankfully marijuana a is no longer a cause for concern since research shows it’s not all refer madness made it out to be.
There are caseworkers who want better for these kids and they have cases of outrageous abuse and filthy unlivable home conditions.
Imo, I’d stay away from snitching and maybe buy em a fan to place in the window and allergy meds for the kid and be grateful they arent smoking meth with the windows up in the car. Even mention they may need a breathing treatment. But not your kid and not your place and not severe enough to risk the baby going to a foster home full of sickos.

You need to get as much information as possible from the mother. Like the child’s doctor, her parents info, who to contact besides her in case of a medical emergency, get a written consent from her to give you the authority to take the child for medical or other help if you have to,vet copies of her medical cards so you can have it on hand and you won’t be liable for anything, ALSO GET ALL THIS INFO NOTARIZED AND MAKE AN EXTRA COPY IF YOU NEED TO, THEN PUT IT IN A BROWN ENVELOPE WITH CHILD’S NAME, MOTHER’S NAME AND HER CONTACT INFORMATION WROTE ON OUTSIDE OF ENVELOPE. You also need to make sure of what is going on before you start any open investigation with any child authorities, never jump to conclusions until you have done your investigation especially if you have kept the child only once or twice. Also take pictures of the child. There could be more going on than you realize and you also have to make sure to keep your child and yourself safe especially with Covid going around and breathing problems are one of the symptoms of Covid. There is alot that goes along with BABYSITTING and when a child isn’t old enough to talk or inform you on what happens at their home you have to be extra careful on starting any type of investigation until you have more evidence. When you babysit and it’s a young mother that has never been taught anything you have to talk to them and earn their confidence and trust so they will open up to you and talk to you about their life. You can also get on SOCIAL MEDIA and check out her pages if she has any and it will also help you determine where to go with this BUT ALSO REMEMBER YOU CAN’T BELIEVE A LOT OF STUFF ON SOCIAL MEDIA BUT IT CAN HELP GIVE YOU SOME INFO. I KNOW PEOPLE WANT TO BE CAREFUL AND YOU CARE WHEN CHILDREN OR A CHILD IS INVOLVED AND YOU THINK IS AT RISK BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU DON’T WANT TO START SOMETHING THAT COULD BE WRONG. As I said be careful because there are to many illness that can cause this and also you have to think about your child when you are babysitting because you are exposing him or her to every germ these children you keep bring into your home. Hope this has been helpful.
