Child Abuse Laws in Illinois/mostly in Florida?
Question by Tiny: Child Abuse Laws in Illinois/mostly in Florida?
My boyfriends sister is a horrid mother. She’s 20years old and just had her second child 2 days ago. To make the story short.. she’s a druggie. She used drugs during her first pregnancy and the baby then had drugs in its system and now it has happened again with the baby she just had now.
I was wondering what can I do to either take these kids away from her (I will adopt them) or lock her up/put in a institute. I’ve heard in some states they can by law since she is endangering herself and is an unfit mother and has children like its nothing and still does drugs can make her have a procedure/surgery that she cant have babies anymore.
