Is this child neglect??

[nEwMoMmY041408]

Post w/ an update in red.....I have been keeping my niece's children (my great-niece and nephew) for the past few weeks.  Since then, she has brought her oldest, my niece, who is two months shy of 3 years, to my home in the same outfit almost every day.  I have seen her in maybe two other outfits the entire time...and they come to my house at least 5 days a week and have been doing so since September.  The little girl also says b****, slut, and today she says, "That girl is so sexy."  And when she gets in trouble, she says, "It's all my fault."  She'll repeat this quite a few times and gets really upset.  She has even brought her to my house without panties on!!!!!  There are a few things that are going on with the little boy, who is about 13 months, but I'm not 100% if I am correct about those, so I will not voice about them.  But with the little girl, I have witnessed this with my own eyes.  Do you guys think this is worth reporting??  I have said something to her already, but she just laughs it off like its nothing.  She is a very immature 19 year old.  She is living with some guy she just met, and before him she was living with another guy, and another before that, and so on.  The children have different fathers, one of which is on meth, and I have been TOLD that he has been verbally abusive towards her other child.  I am concerned, and she is not doing anything about it.  Any input or suggestions are welcome.

Okay, I have talked with her about this on many occasions, as well as other family members of ours.  And we have all tried to help her, but she has come to take advantage of it.  About a year ago, she was arrested for shoplifting,the judge gave her a chance to just do community service to pay her fines, which consisted of filing papers at an office for 2 weeks.  Simple, right??  She went one day and didn't go back because she was "sick."  Also, the courts said they would pay for her GED classes and test, and she never went.  Her mom raised her oldest daughter for the first 2 years, and finally said enough was enough.  This girl has taken complete advantage of my parents (her grandparents).  My dad gave her money for her son's birth certificate and circumcision when he was born....he has not been circumcised, and she just told me the other day she had to go apply for his birth certificate.  He is over a year old, by the way.  I understand that some things take some time, and yes, sometimes things are looked over....but when all these things are compiled into one, its a lot.  And again, I have spoken with her many, many times....not judging, just asking questions, like, whats going on, do you need this, or this.  And as far as the clothes thing goes, she just came in with a new phone and has a new radio in her car.

hu ni dont want to get in ur buisness but if i were u i would report everything ur seeing and hearing cuz I had cuzins like the oldest one she has a 2 year old tht cant even tlk yet. the second is a rapist and the 3rd is about 18 and has been in and out of juvie since he was a kid. thr mom was so bad on not caring th the youngst was playing with fire under the house and blew up something and burned his enitre left thigh all to hell. these kids are all messed up and my mom and dad tried so many times to say something to her by time they said something to the authorites didnt think nothing of it cuz they waited so long so they didnt think it was tht bad. so if i wre u I would do something b4 another situation like i had to witness happens again. & sometimes doing something like tht is the best love u can show a child is to take them away from a bad situation to give them a chance at a good life. cuz if they keep bein with thr mom they r going to turn out like her and then their children and so on and so forth. so plz take my advice u doing something doesnt mean u dont love them kids it only means u love them more and u care for thier lives and their well being. thanks for listneing i hope eerything works out and i really hope things change and fast
