Long story short, I believe that my siblings are being neglected? I moved out 4 years ago, but still go home to see my siblings (ages 17, 16, 14, 13, 11), and every time I go over there, there are a few things that worry me.

1) my siblings are "homeschooled". They confided in me that they never actually do any school work, but are stuck at home all the time and my mom refuses to help them or put them in public school.

2) My siblings all have to make their own food at all times. It's always "fend for yourself" in their house. I don't have a problem with having kids make their own meals, but they're all expected to use the stove and figure it all out on their own with no guidance

3) My parents are never available. My father works full time, so he is never home, and my mom just hides out in her room away from my siblings at all times. They sometimes go days without seeing her. And when they need help with something, she gets angry/annoyed that they're bothering her when they "should know how to do it themselves"

4) they get yelled at for not cleaning perfectly. My siblings clean their bedroom, the living room, and the kitchen, as well as doing all of their dishes. But if it isn't perfect or they take too long, they get lectured and told that they're failing and they'll never be able to do anything.

5) My parents favor one child the most. The only boy. He is 14, and most likely has autism/OCD, But they refuse to get him any help with his disorders until he turns 18, and they just make excuses for him. They let him get away with anything and everything, and they make his food, and he doesn't have to clean/do school work, but my mom wants to graduate him at 16 "just because I can". He always throws massive tantrums where he throws/kicks things, screams and yells, and threatens to kill everyone. They blame it on him being "hangry".

6) My parents LOCK my siblings out of their only bathroom at night. My siblings go to bed at 11, and they lock the door from 10 PM, til 10 AM, because they think my siblings "get up too much to pee at night", when it's realistically once or twice A NIGHT.

7) if my siblings want anything more than food from the grocery store, they have to buy it themselves (like shampoo/conditioner/body wash, ect..)

8) my parents go out every weekend for a two night stay at a hotel and leave all of my siblings all on their own to do whatever they want.

9) My youngest sister (11) is pretending to be 15 on the internet to talk to older people, and all of my siblings have phones that are not monitored nor limited. My mom has no clue what they're doing online. Ever.

I'm sure there is more, but I don't want to add everything or this post would be even longer. Am I just crazy, or is this neglect? Is this enough for CPS to get involved? Is there anything I can do to get custody of them?
