Daughter came home said neighbor girl told her they've been home alone for 6 days...

I think I'm just venting now.. we live in a rural ..outside city limits area..Neighbor lady has custody of her grandchildren, 13, 12, & 9.So when my 10 year old got off the bus she busted out with neighbor girl said they'd been home alone for 6 days. I know they missed school at least 2 days this week. But the way their driveway is I can't see when anyone is home via a vehicle.Then shortly after, the neighbor behind me said same neighbor girls were begging for food the day before.So right after the bus lets them out the 2 girls were running in the yard so I asked them to come over for a chat. When they got here I said ok so where's your nanny? What's going on?Nanny is in another city doing a bartending gig to make more money to pay the bills. But can't drive home every night because gas is too expensive. Other city is 45 mins away. And the mother who lost her custodial rights was supposed to be taking care of them.Then I learn they haven't had running water since Monday. In all this mumbo jumbo from the girls. I had no idea.. I'd already seen the sheriff show up and only honk his horn to no response and leave. (They also have 7 dogs).So given the combination of information, I called the county (we live out of City limits) for a welfare check. So they came out and, dfcs was called & the mother who has no rights argued with them for hours and hours and a family friend took them for the night.Meanwhile I've been texting and calling the neighbor (nanny).. "what's going on?" And no answer no response. And she finally text me today after all was done.. blaming the non-parental right mother. Nanny got a new car and was bartending in another city to make up the money to pay a 2 month late water bill. She blamed the mother of the kids for not being around. I even told her.. I can totally understand if you are having a moment and are just tired of being responsible for these kids that's okay to feel that way, you should look for another family member to take them. But you can not allow these kids to live this way, they've lost their security, they've learned what hunger feels like, they feel unloved, forgotten, left behind. Please find a new location for them so they can live a healthy and happy life and so can you!She text me back with denial denial denial.. I did nothing wrong their mother chose not be their mother.I want to fucking scream. I hate this life for these kids.ITS NOT ABOUT YOU ASSHOLE! ITS ABOUT THE KIDDOS THAT NEED MORE TIME TO GROW.. IF YOU CANT DO THAT THEN LET SOME ONE ELSE! FFS! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2VUVntC
