Deadbeat mom. *Rant*

I'm really bothered by what my besties cousin is doing to her. For the past 5 years my besties cousin has been giving her the role of playing mom. I personally met her cousin when her son was 5 years old and he's almost 10 now. There's been multiple cases with CPS however he's never been removed from the home. I understand CPS can be twisted and evil sometimes but for his sake I hope eventually he gets taken from his mom.

So the deal with her, I've never personally liked her. She always seemed like that "I always get what I want" person even though I didn't earn it. According to my bestie anyways. The house he lives in is falling apart, their house has roaches, and his mom BARELY puts in the effort to even be a mom. According to my bestie she had taken up the role of "mom" to get him up and ready for school, putting him to bed, making sure he gets a shower, and even fed. Yet this woman got to celebrate Mother's Day. I've heard her and my bestie say she absolutely loves her son and would do anything for him but yet my bestie is always the one playing mom. There's two pedos living at the house that CPS is aware of and they won't do anything because one is her cousins bf and the other is someone else's bf that lives in the house. She allows anyone to live there as long as they pay "rent" even though no one is given a bedroom and it's always just sleeping in the living room.

I just can't wrap my head around this and why CPS hasn't actually done anything. The child now suffers from several disorders has a past of sexual abuse and supposedly he has the mental capacity of a 3 year old. I personally call this bs because the couple times I've personally been over there, he's ALWAYS in his room and if he leaves his room he will be told to go back. I do believe this is neglect. Kind of outta sight outta mind and I really don't think it's he's really got the mind of a 3 year old I think it's the fact his mom doesn't do ANYTHING with him as far as school goes and he's just incredibly behind because of her neglecting him. I'm gonna call it as I see it. To me that's neglect. He's not allowed to do anything with his friends, he's rarely outta the house supposedly because of him being "bad" leading him to be grounded in his room. I never see her taking any pics of her son or even going out for events. I'm just so incredibly bothered this woman claims she loves her son but yet she can't even be a mom to him. My bestie is mom of a mom than his biological mom will ever be. It's not fair on her and it's not fair on her little cousin to have to go through this.

And with her celebrating Mother's Day? How fucking disrespectful when there are moms who actually make an effort for their children every single day.
