Re: my child

I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say the "mother does not watch her child." If she does not adequately supervise him, you could contact CPS. CPS might take a report on this and do some investigation, depending on the information you can provide. There is an 800 number to call for the "Central Registry." If you can locate your county's website, there will probably be more information there about child neglect.

You might be able to come up with some creative lawsuit against her in an attempt to recoup costs of therapy for your child, but I don't think that is the best way to go.

I hope this has been of some help. Good luck.
