So my wife’s brother lives about two blocks away from my family. We’ve always gotten along well and he’s always seemed like a stand-up guy and a great father. Anyway, last night my daughter went over to his house to play with her cousin who is about the same age as her.
It got late and my wife went over to his house to pick our daughter up, only to discover both girls surrounded by beer and liquor bottles and obviously intoxicated. My wife eventually found her brother passed out drunk in the backyard.
Anyway, she totally freaked out and brought both girls back to our house. When pressed, his daughter admitted that he not only supplies her with alcohol, but often forces her to drink to unconsciousness. What kind of monster would do this? I want to contact the authorities but my wife is holding me back.
What’s the proper course of action in these circumstances?
Thanks and God bless.
His wife died six months ago due to complications from diabetes.
