Missing school often is too many....

@NativePortlander1970 Exactly and if I say anything even when I am showing concern it might come off as being judgmental. I remember one time the parent even mentioned that I can take her child to school. When clearly I don't drive when I mentioned about how her ex boyfriend mentioned the school or DCF being involved if a child misses too many days of school. Even if I did drop the kid off to school there are other issues at bay such as too much screentime and stationary lifestyle for a 1st grader. I even remember during Spring Break the kid wasn't in school for two weeks and 90% of his activity was sleep, devices, and eat. I try to do things with him here and there but my interest aren't his interest(art) unless his parent takes the device away then the child wants to do art. I even joined him outside to his water bottle targets with his nerf gun and surprisingly his other friends had nerf guns too and they played together. Then he went fishing but if I didn't ask him etc or wasn't present he would of been inside on devices etc.

@OpalFlower First grade? That child need serious intervention, how well do You know her parents or other responsible relatives? He is on a very dangerous path due to irresponsible parenting.

@NativePortlander1970 And now I overhear her talking about getting into surrogacy somewhere in another state. Her past choices is not too wise where it caused a lot of financial issues on her end where she is in debt and owe some people. Like idk if she is doing it for the money but clearly she on some type of not to wise choice path lately because the surrogacy etc from what I heard is in California but what if she ends up pregnant and the family decides to not want the child she carries. And she is left pregnant carrying the same parenting style etc.

@OpalFlower One of the laws concerning surrogacy is that the biological parrents must fully support the surrogate during pregnancy, and if the surrogates backs out, they must pay full child support and pay for college if they decide to go. However, your friend must also go through a full and thorough background check, any and all discrepancies will be scrutinized, her irresponsible behavior with her own child could be discovered and immediately disqualify her from the program.

@NativePortlander1970 I need to look into the laws concerning surrogacy a bit more because all wo of her family members mentioned was being kidnapped etc. That is one thing but also repeating the same habits with one child with the other child.

@NativePortlander1970 Not trying to judge either but the main thing I only heard is I get $100 for signing up instead of I get to help a couple form a family. So even that right there makes me question her intentions. Like what if she actually goes through this and passes everything with the surrogacy agency then decides to want to keep the kid to gain financial incentives.

@OpalFlower A thorough background check should catch the irresponsibilities with her own child, and could in fact flag her for a protective services investigation.

@OpalFlower If she tries to keep the child she would be arrested and charged with kidnapping.

@OpalFlower She's not telling You the truth about the $100 and other things.
