I Don't Know What to do About My Step Son
My in laws have had guardianship over my step son for around 7-8 years. My husband had him at a young age and the mother choose not to take care of him. My mother in law told my husband that my step son needed health insurance and the best way to do that was to give her guardianship and he could use her health insurance. So they did it. My husband has two other kids now with me and has been wanting his son with him. Hes scared to tell his mother he believes she would fight him on it. She also just lost her mother and her only sibling this year. I do not believe he is being well taken care off. The house is pretty gross. He sleeps in the living room. When I watch him during the week when he doesn't have school he arrives at my house at 6 am drinking soda and eating chips. He has been getting in trouble in school. Hes pretty much out of control and they can't handle him nor even trying to get him some help. He whips balls and my in laws smacks their butts etc. I know he would be a handful to handle but I think anyway to help him would have to be done now. I am just not sure what to do.

If your husband gave them guardianship and not custody. Which would also require the mother to give up parental rights. The that guardianship can be revoked. See a lawyer.

Your husband needs to file for custody battle, This is something that will need to be taken up with the court and a lawyer
Having a child live in an unsanitary environment is abuse and neglect. Your husband could try going about this the easier route by discussing with the mother it may be in the child's best interest if he lives with you and your husband. If she continues to put up a fight for it then that is where your husband would need to say that it is not fair to the child to have to live in an unsanitary condition and if it is necessary he will take the matter to court and fight for custody of his child. Either way, It will be a battle between them two.
P.S. While I'm at it, Thank you for being one of those people that care. Very seldom do nowadays
