I want nothing to do with her

I knew this girl a number of years ago going back high school (about10 years ago). She out of the blue facebook messages me. She has 2 kids (one is in school, and one not). She is dating the same guy. But the guy is in and out of drug rehab, and other things. He in no way supports the children or her. She is on welfare, then comes home works 2 or 3 months goes back. She just negative and angry. She thinks everyone should support her children. She doesn't get out of bed, and then now children aid involved. Basically she is not supplying necessities. She can barely pay rent, yet the government gives her way way more than needed (plus baby bonus which gives you enough for everything plus some). She messages me asking to have an interview with children aid, as they claim (or not 100%sure of the issue), that she isn't supporting the kids, or caring for them properly. I told her sorry I've seen her a handful of times since high school, and I am not getting involved with children aid. It is because her boyfriend or whatever he is does drugs,puts the kids in harms way, and shes posting on facebook how she's fighting a girl. Sorry but she is immature and irresponsible those kids need you. It is to the point she posts on facebook with a cellphone (and can pay that), yet can't afford heat apparently.

I can see why you wouldn't want to get involved. Those poor kids they really need some stability in their lives. It is sad to see children being raised that way.

@ricki_911 that is probably the case. She needs to get rid of him so they can have a better life.

@ricki_911 it is and it could cause her to lose her children. She needs to get herself together and put her children's well being first.

We don't have that here. I know woman shelters do have them but you don't have luxury of internet, and other things, it is just calling 911 nothing else.

It sounds like she might be fighting a mental illness along with dealing with the bad decisions she's made in both the past and the present. I think you're doing the right thing with not participating. How weird that she'd contact you for that reason when you haven't had all that much to do with her. And if her Facebook account is publicly visible, you know they're probably including that in the investigation of her...

Iam not even her facebook friend which I find that weird. Exactly, I went through it and the things she posts. She is my age and I assume at 28 she knows to care for her children.

She needs to grew up and figure what should come first and what she does not need when she has limited income.
