Help! My mom always went out with everyone just for sex or money.
Question Posted Monday February 18 2013, 8:24 pm
My mom always went out and drank. And she has always had a boyfriend problem. Like she would go out with everyone just for sex or money. That was then. & she started back up again. She has been choosing her boyfriends over me and my brother. It doesnt matter to him though because he will move out soon. But what about me? What do I do? I'm sick and tired being alone..

If you do not wish to do this yourself then I suggest you talk to a trusted teacher at school or your school principal. By law they must take the proper steps to protect you Which in this case is o call child protective services and make a report.
CPS has several actions they can take. They can monitor moms activities and make sure she is taking proper care of you. But if she is dating for money that could be considered prostitution and that is illegal. Then it becomes a police matter.
You will then have the option of living with your father if he is in the picture or another relative such as a grandparent, Aunt or Uncle. If your brother is old enough and deemed responsible they could also place you with him. Worst case scenario is you would be made a ward of the state and placed with a foster family.
