My cousin and her husband have always been irresponsible people. The family thought that once they had a kid they would change(wishful thinking). Well now they are even MORE irresponsible. Instead of buying baby food they chew food up spit it out and then feed it to the baby. They said they did this because they couldn't afford baby food. My mom me and grandma bought the baby some food. They did not feed it to the baby because they said it wasn't gerber and their baby only eats gerber baby food. The baby(who is 2 ) constantly has diaper rash from infrequent changing. She can't walk properly and isn't even trying to form words(no baby babble)

The worst part is that I suspect (from what I have learned in child psychology classes) that my cousins husband has been molesting the baby. I first thought this by the baby being fussy when being changed. Not usual baby fussy but crying loud as if in pain fussy when you are removing her pamper or bathing her. My mom (who use to be a teacher) said that she was taught while she was in college the signs of molestation in children as young as preschool. We don't have concrete proof of molestation BUT the child neglect we have proof of.

The first daycare my cousin placed the baby in refuse to allow her to bring the baby back because of nonpayment and the fact that she refuses to discuss why the baby's "girl parts" are red and irritated not from diaper rash either but like someone has been bothering her. The second daycare she put her in refused to allow her back because she refused to discuss why the baby was obviously malnurished. In fact one day the daycare nurse(this was a NICE daycare) did a once over of the baby and declared that the baby had been underfeed and she suspected abuse of a sexual nature.

Now my delima is I want to call CPS on my cousin because that baby is going to starve to death at the very least if she is not taken away. She lives in a small town so the daycare workers did not call cps because they know my cousin(old hs classmates,church members ect). My mom says that I shouldn't call because my cousin will figure out that I called them. I want to know is there a way to contact cps anonymously?

While you can call them and tell them, call 911 and tell them, or write them a letter, but to be honest they don't put near as much belief in those type of reports, often figure it is someone just wanting to cause them trouble, If you will actually make a formal statement it is much more likely to actually be investigated

I think so. If you call them, block your number just in case I guess. I think they're more interested in keeping the kids safe than who tips them off. Good luck.

They are not suppose to tell who reports. CPS gets a lot more tips than they ever look into. Ex's who reports the other ex, angry husband and wife fighting over kids, nieghbors who don't like homeschool kids and more. If they get a report and there has not been other reports depending on how busy the office is, it may not even get looked at if you are not willing to actually get invovled. If you know something you should be willing to stand up for what is wrong and try and fix it.

You are right fr... but I have to prepare my mama she for some reason cares what people in our VERY disfunctional family think where in my mind they can go to h e double hockey sticks

In the USA *69 is suppose to block your number making it a private or unknown caller.
They are suppose to follow up with at least one visit and determine if the call was founded and needs follow up or unfounded and dropped.

I have another question, How do you contact CPS if an annoymous person online comes forward to you and tells you that they sometimes lose control and beat their child. If you don't know the person at all, but if they are crying for help by telling you that they beat their child.
