Re: Aunt wanting to take nephew from sister on drugs
Regardless of whether Child Protective Services will place the child with you or not, they should probably be notified of the child's current situation, as nothing will change on its own. Regardless of whether a decision is made to place the child with you or not, at least you can get the child out of a potentially dangerous situation. As for your records, they don't need to be perfect, but it will depend on the charges and how long ago they were.
Best of luck to you,
