I will change a few minor bits because its important no one recognises me.
Someone i know has custody of 2 children that aren't hers, the are family. One of the kids has been in care previously in different circumstances. Soial services have been monitoring them but are backing off now.
I've recently found out that the main care giver has been staying out a lot over night leaving the kids with an adult family member but not one I think would know what to do in an emergancy, would probably struggle to manage his own life.
They all drink too much but the kids have trainers that are falling apart etc.
The kids don't get hurt but i couldn't forgive myself if they ever did. I also don't like the way the kids get spoken to, told they are naughty just to get a reaction and just constantly winding them up.
The kids appear mainly happy but they don't know any different. I have tried to help previously but i get ignored or lied to so i don't ask questions. I live too far away to 'call in'.
