Re: should CPS be notified?

Yes, If child safety is an issue,you must default on the side of protecting the child. Your nephew cannot help himself and if his parents cannot or will not check, CSP will do a wellness check. If all is fine, they may be upset, but if there is a problem your nephew will be safe.
