You are getting good advice.

My .2...

Call CPS then watch and listen.

A crying child isn't always a panic situation, granted. A lot of people living in one home isn't a panic situation. I have seen tons of peeps living in the same place in the homes of the mountain folks i see as patients.

But, if you are having gut feelings, go with that. Call CPS, let them handle it and keep a watchful eye out. If you see something that IS neglect or a panic situation, and you are SURE about it, don't hesitate to call 911 at that time.

Be careful too i want to add, because one person's happy home may "appear" to be something it is not. Just watch...a lot.

The kids are lucky you are there. Whether they are abused, neglected or not. It's not an everyday thing anymore that people are willing to get involved. Watching out for all of our kids is a good thing.

Good for you.
