Hi,my name is jennifer and I am 23 years old. My husband n I just got temp custody of his neice which is a month old we have had her now for one week. His sister had dhs called on her so we took the baby. They have only been here one time to see her for like 20 or 30 min brought her some things. They are not showin any effort to get there child back. I dont want to take the baby from them for good but they are not compilyin with what the judge said to do. They are just takin there time. We have a three year old and a one year old of our own. We love the baby so much. they had her just so mest up like tryin to feed her chettos. They feed her so much rice that now she has a hernia in her belly button from tryin to go to the bath room and not being able to. What should I do try to contiue to help them or just stop tryin???? Any adive will be apperciated

I think you should continue taking care of her. Is it possible that you and your husband could have full custody of your niece? If they won't listen to the judge's orders.. I'd suggest that you confront them about it and see what they have to say. And if that doesn't work... SUE THEM. Sue them for neglecting the needs of the child.. and not cooperating with the judge's orders. I wish you the best of luck.

I think you should continue helping them out by taking care of there baby. you have only had her a weer give them two more weeks. Talk to them tell them you love them and your niece but you dont want to see your niece grow up with out both of her parents in her life. Kind Jolt their brain you know. what this babies life would be like if they didnt straighten up.
I think you and your husband are doing an amazing thing.

You can continue to try & help them but if they're not making any effort to get their daughter back, who knows if they ever will? My guess is that they probably won't because if they're feed a 1 month old baby cheetos, they probably don't care too much about her.
I understand you're not trying to take the baby away from them & that's not your intention, but you can either tell them to comply with the judge's orders, or you can file to become her legal guardian. If you don't want to become her legal guardian - is there someone within the family that can do that? She deserves to be with family. In this situation, you really have to do what's best for the child.
If there is a chance that you can become her legal guardians (and you're willing to), please do so. She doesn't deserve to be with her parents (because they sound like babies themselves) and she needs to be with people that will love her and take care of her.
If they're not willing to make the effort to get their baby back, they do not deserve her, and should really work on taking care of themselves before they ever decide to reproduce again. You can warn them, but you can't change them. Either adopt the baby or have someone else in the family take her in if you are unwilling or unable to.

It sounds to me like the babies parents arent able to take care of their child. However I can understand that you dont want to take the baby away from them. You should try talking to them tell them that if they really do want the baby they need to start complying with the judges orders. If they do make the effort great! However it doesnt really sound like they will so dont send the baby back into an unsafe environment and parents that dont care enough to do what ever it takes to get her back.
I hope that everything works out for the best...weather that be your niece going back to her parents or staying with you.
