My intentions will ALWAYS have that little child as a top priority and I would not do anything to cause that child harm.
So how would reporting the parents and taking what little benefits (food and medical) they're receiving away benefit the child?
Here in Cali food benefits are $135.75 per person times 3 that would be about $410, can't spend that money on anything but food. Trust me benefits from human services is not in any way a get rich quick scheme.
I'm assuming they're not recieving cash aid too since that wasn't mentioned.
Is someone stepping up to take the child since it seems that the parents aren't willing to properly provide for the child?
