SRS has been involve but the mother is a good talker and my neice is scared to say anything because she fears her mother. She wants to live with me. What can I do to help?

Answer #1

if you love your niece, then let her stay with you, then talk to her about it, see if she can talk to your mother or father or carer about it, let her know shes loved and she should open up. good luck x

Answer #2

If you can, hire a lawyer and sue for custody.

Contact child welfare and explain the situation to them as well - you’ll want them on your side.

Get as much evidence as you can to back up your claim.
