My nephew had sex with an underage girl and is now a registered sex offender. My sister called me tonight practically begging me to let him come live with us. She moved in with an ex-boyfriend and he doesn't want a 21 year old who should be taking care of himself and is always getting in trouble around. I don't blame him at all.
I told her there was no way he could live with us because CPS would find out and I'm sure a 3rd CHINS case would be the end of our family. Sorry I'm not willing to risk it with my older 2 let alone our baby. She actually tried to lie and tell me CPS couldn't find out unless somebody told them. Somehow I don't think it'd take a full week before they found out.
Would you have told her no too?
Would you do the same thing?

I feel that you have made the best decfision
for yourself and your family. Is he on probation? If so his probation officer would have reported his living with you to CPS.

No, he was unsuccessfully released. He failed quite a few drug tests when he was on probation and is still a useless drunk/pothead as far as I know. He would be the worst possible influence on our two teenagers.
It's his mother's fault he's the way he is. No matter what he did when he was younger she didn't care, and she expected everybody else to give in to him. She lost three boys in the 70's because another sister called CPS on her back then. Those boys grew up healthy and happy and got the good, loving homes they deserved. I know because they went to a church some of my dad's family went to and I saw them for myself w/o letting them know who I was to them.
I've played the CPS game and know better than to ever take another chance. Our family is lucky, we were reunited, we now have the baby, and we're still close. There's nothing any of us will ever do to risk being broken up again.
