Should I report my nieces car seats?

Christina Loxton omg Christina, it doesn’t matter who’s responsibility it is in this case!!! The anonymous poster asked if she should call the police on her family members for faulty car seats? Are you kidding me!!! She’s come to Facebook instead of going to her family to ask if their okay and need help, as well as the fact that it’s a hazard to the baby. The parents could be in a financial rut as to why they haven’t bought ‘expensive carseats’. There’s plenty that go for 40-100.
Maybe give some constructive criticism instead of calling out the women commenting on this post! You should in fact be calling out the woman who anonymously posted this charade in regards to a family member in which she HASNT stated if there’s bad blood between them but instead turned to STRANGERS for guidance on a matter that could’ve been solved whilst she was at her dads :woman_facepalming:

They are possibly doing the best they can. Help them do better YOU’RE FAMILY. If they get removed are you going to be the one to go through hell to become foster parent approved, or just never see them again. A lot of those homes are worse and it destroys people.

Maybe the covers are in the wash because they were dirty? Maybe this or maybe that. You don’t know the reason because you went straight to report them instead of talking to them about it. Maybe they don’t know any better. Maybe they can’t afford new ones. Instead of going straight to reporting them you ask them about it and then try to help. Look up places you can get free car seats or help them buy them or so something other than just reporting it.

Report? How about TALK to your family about the car seats and ask if they need help. Car seats are expensive and maybe they’re doing the best they can. If you report it, your nieces could be taken on the grounds of child endangerment when it could be something as simple as poverty. Lots of people have trouble asking for help, and they do what they can with what they have even if it isn’t the best solution.

Instead of judging and reporting, maybe get together with the rest of the family and work out how you can HELP your family isn’t of throw them under the bus.

Tell me your the Karen of the family.:roll_eyes: report it defiantly not. Talk to said cousin about it yes. I don’t know who you would plain on reporting this too but if you report it to the department of human services you could be causing a world of stress for your cousin that is very unessesary . If the carseats are so concerning buy them new ones or find somewhere that does carseat trade. If I was your cousin I’d definitely be keeping my distance from you. Because you seem to be finishing for any reason to stir up some kind of drama for your cousin.

I’m more sickened by you than the condition of the car seats. I have trouble digesting the idea of how someone thinks ITS THEIR BUSINESS what goes on in someone else’s life. Are you looking for praise? These are your nieces, help them. Don’t report their parents. What kind of family member are you? And if you have beef with the parents then why punish the babies. They didn’t ask for this. If you see something you don’t like then fix it quietly. Don’t blast it and cause trouble. Or just mind your own business. My friends and I take care of each other and our kids. Ask no questions and never mention it if anyone needs help. We aren’t even blood. What’s your excuse.

Reporting them is just going to make it a fight and possibly make it to the point you will lose your nieces/nephew and thata also going to cause a big family cumbuffle, and you may be blacklisted from the family so if you want to avoid that maybe help them out… offer to buy them new ones or even go online and make a post to your local community group or something and see if someone can donate some car seat to you for them!

Uhm instead of reporting them off the bat how about you have an adult conversation about the car seats… You like drama in the family I’m guessing. I mean they could have been washing the padding for all you know because you didn’t ask and just assumed that they were using them like that. Really if you were THAT concerned help them out getting better seats.

Where I live, one of the neighboring county’s Social Services and Child Protective Services department is so negligent that child are LITERALLY dying due to child abuse, parents drug abuse, etc.

I say this because the mother of your “nieces” is clearly TRYING (which is A HELL of a lot more than the majority of the parents in these cases here) and if you TRULY consider yourself family and believe the seats are unsafe, then try helping to get new ones in some way, shape or form! There are resources out here if people need help. On the other hand, if you were to make that call, their entire world could be turned upside down and although nothing may be “wrong”, it could very well be the start of problems or bring turmoil; CPS can ruin families!

Maybe help them get better car seats? We all know cps is ass right now and nothing good will come of that. Help find community resources. I know with my youngest I was able to get a car seat through wic when she grew out of her infant seat.

Check for local programs that possibly would donate them. It is wonderful you are concerned for their safety, but, offer to assist first, rather than report.

You can probably find some cheap replacement seats on Facebook marketplace. Or if you have a local community page post and ask if anyone is getting rid of carseats

So you are worried about your niece’s safety so in your mind calling someone to get involved is the solution? If they get a case worker who is heartless they will be put in the system. You think that is better? You shouldn’t even called yourself an aunt.

That isn’t a reason to report someone to CPS. That would potentially take time away for important cases. You should talk to them first, then either find places that donate carseats or go buy them. Marketplace always has reasonable priced ones,and so does Walmart.

Talk with the parents…or whoever has custody. Educate them if they’re not aware.

Your first thought is to report it and not try to get them replaced if the parents can’t? in that case I hope other people watch your life closely and report every single thing about you that they can. You aren’t a nice person to be around. Steups

Check with your Health department. There are programs in VA that will help you. Or ask friends and neighbors if they have a car seat they no longer use that still has good dates on it.

Unless you or another family member is going to step up and take those kids if they get taken from their parents you should help your sibling out. Otherwise, u might as well just ignore this because otherwise you could potentially get them taken and put into the system … Which do u see as a better situation for them? That’s the true question

Why do you want to report them? To get these kids taken from their parents or to cause stress on the parents? To push your sibling & likely other family members away? How about try to help them instead? You can buy them new car seats. If you can’t afford that research programs in your area. If you have a safekids near you they offer free or reduced car seats. Sometimes police or fire stations do too. Talk to the parents & find out how to help them. You may need their medical insurance cards for programs. Or maybe between you, your dad & other family members you can surprise them with new seats.
