i was going to say the same thing, rhap. putting the kid on the street isnt any better than squatting in an apartment. i agree - keep calling. get other people to call them too. if you call everday theyll come out just to get you off their ***. i would keep yourself out of the situation directly though and not talk to the woman face to face. people who have the capability to abuse their own child, you never know what they might do to you or anyone else if someone interjects like that. why cant the cops get her on child abuse?
