The Guidelines
1) Friendship and Knowledge
A close friendship and knowledge is required of knowing what is happening in the persons home. Judging without this knowledge can lead to many issues and many problems. Most decent parents do not discuss on the internet when children leave the house, where they are going or who is visiting the house. Privacy is important on the internet in regards to safety for your family.
Friendship and love should lead an individual to be concerned for the offspring of the children involved. If you love someone and love their offspring because you love the parent and are concerned of neglect, that is an entirely different matter and should be discussed privately. Accusing someone without asking questions such as why the neglect could be happening is not appropriate; such as life issues, being unhappy, seeking something they are missing, disease or illness, or something else. Ask appropriate questions based on your love and friendship of the individual and the children involved.
2) Proof
You need proof they are abusing their children, basing a judgment by what you are viewing from people you do not know or have a relationship with is not the proper method. As I mentioned up above, the child or children might not be home and out with friends of parents, people from the church, in a daycare, napping or doing other activities.
Contacting Childrens Aid or Childrens services or even discussing that option needs to be your last resort, along with the proof without a shadow of a doubt that neglect or abuse is happening. Many risks are involved when a child is removed from the home and placed in foster care. You simply google Foster Care Risks, and you can obtain many articles. Hospital visits increase in foster care.
