What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO
My boyfriends ex recently moved to a different state, MO, and for about 2 months we've thought they were living in a 1 bedroom apartment, His ex her 25 year old boyfriend, 13 year old daughter, 12 year old son, and 7 year old son (and 2 dogs). And today the daughter finally was given a cellphone and told my boyfriend and me "Mom told me I can't tell you or Ill get my cell taken away but I wont lie, we are living in an apartment and its one bedroom" I did some searching online and was able to confirm it is 1 bedroom under 700 sq ft. We think this isnt right especially given the age of the live in boyfriend and the daughter. My boyfriend called a child protective hotline but they said there isnt anything they can do. Is there really nothing that can be done? This isnt considered neglect at all? Should my boyfriend call his lawyer, there isnt a parenting plan currently? Child support is always paid and both the mother and boyfriend have good full time jobs so I cant see them not finding adequate housing. I know its not my problem and Im not butting in with them, I just want to gets some advice, because in the 4 years Ive dated my boyfriend Ive become close with those kids and the fact that they are living with no beds of their own, their mom pawns all the things we buy them and now this apartment situation, it is really eating away at me.
