well, talking to the school may or may not help. With the new rules on confidentiality and secrecy (how ironic in this day and age) his teachers, counselors, and even the principle would not be able to tell you anything. However, if you talk to the the principle, describe the kid, where he lives, his name, and the fact that he is in special ed, I am fairly certain they will know who you are talking about.

So, talk to the principle first, explain how this kid is dropped off at your house, how he is left to basically fend for himself, and that his parents do not even give you the courtesy of answering the door when you try and bring him back. I am fairly certain the school can give you a hand. Letting them know what is going on automatically involves them in legal ways that they cannot just get out of.

Also, have you considered that maybe his parents are alcoholics or addicted to something? When my baby sis was growing up, one of her best friend's mom's was a serious alcoholic. She would shove the kid out the door to play with no shoes or jacket on, no matter what the weather, whenever she went on a bender. Many a time we wound up with the daughter sleeping over or even staying till after dinner when her father would come home from work.

We did eventually call the Division of Youth and Services, while they did not take the kids away, it did seem to send a chill down their parent's back. It also brought an end to their daughter's and my sis' friendship as the mom then forbid her daughter from having anything to do with us.

I wish you luck, it is very heartbreaking to see.

 

The best thing to do is call CPS (Child Protective Services). They will investigate the situation and will keep your identity confidential. Let them worry about it and they'll do what is needed.

 

in the meantime, try to get some free labor out of him.

 

^^gotta update your profile with year and location

seriously call CPS they will know exactly what to do

thats concidered child abandonment here in NM if i remember correctly

 

Thanks so much for the advice everyone. If I see him around my street later today when school gets out, I am definitely giving the local child services department a phone call. I figure I'd give this all one last shot, but if he comes around with no parents once again, that's the last straw.

 

next time he comes looking for your sister, tell him she passed away and to go find a new friend

If anything, CPS will have this incident on record so if it ever happens again, they at least have some sort of prior history.

 

Yea just call child services and they should be able to help. Let us know what happens if you can.

 

Its kids like that who lose all respect for authority and for life in general. I'd call the child care agency IMMEDIATELY and do your best to make sure this kid is taken care off.
