Good morning, my son had a friend(and I say had because they just recently stopped being friends, which I was kind of happy about)and he lives right down the street from us. I went to middle and high school with this kids mom and she is a meth head. You can tell by looking at her she is cracked out(its sad). A friend of my so and I's so use to be a meth head and knows for a fact that's what they do because he said it use to be his crash pad back in the day. I am worried that they could possibly be cooking it at their place of residence. He said he cant say for sure about now but back in the day he wouldn't have put it past them to have been cooking it there. A few years ago we were at the corner store and we saw the kids step dad selling "something" to someone in the parking lot. I thought then and there omg should we call the police, but since we didn't know "for sure" we said we better not. But my gut tells me that's what he was doing because he just had his eyes locked on us the whole time, it was kind of scary considering we live down the street from them. Needless to say we are still unsure if they cook it there or not. But we know that they do it and sell it.

It scares me because our son is not allowed to go there at all! But his other two friends go there all the time and their parents seem to not care. It drives me nuts. What if they are cooking it there, and what if something goes wrong you are allowing your kids to be in an unsafe environment because you don't want to parent your kids. At the time when my son and this kid were friends he really didn't quite understand why he couldn't go there and I don't expect him to understand. My son has been there a few times. I have once allowed him to go there and play outside and that was it and even then I felt horrible but I realize it is not this kids fault the situation in which he is forced to live in and I felt he shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of not having friends because of who his mom, sd and grandmother are. But he one day went there without telling anyone and was in the house!!! We couldn't believe it. And just the other day we found out that alls the adults do is sit downstairs even with a house full of 8-9 year olds!

A few years ago when the kid finally emerged from the house(we never knew they had a kid down there, they keep everything so private and closed up, and still do)he would come down and play with our son and his friends and this poor kid would be in jeans and a long sleeved shirt in 90+ degree weather. Obviously you could tell they let the kid dress himself and didn't care what he wore at 7 years old. And this kid has free reign to roam anywhere he wants. They never ever check in on him.

So here I have been sitting for a few years now pondering the thought of calling anonymously to cps to report them so someone can at least come out randomly and see for themselves what is going on. I never want a kid to be ripped away from his mother but I fear he is living in an unsafe environment, and if they are cooking who is to say something couldn't go wrong and their house blows up! I hope I am wrong but if you seen the mother and the random people that are constantly going in and out of that house it would make you wonder too.

So my question is what do it do. Do I just mind my own business or do I make that random call to at least have the place looked at for the safety of the child?
