Facts About Crack Cocaine

Question by Jesika Smith: what charges can I post of my mother? Child abuse? Neglect? Threats?
Long story short, my mother would rather spend her day at the bar than take care of my 4 year old brother and 16 year old sister Erin. They were living with me for about 8 months until my mom called the cops and pressed kidnapping charges on me because “I was holding her babies against their will” When infact, I told them they could go home anytime they wanted too, but they didn’t want to go back to my mother’s house and her terrible terrible care. So, I have a court date with her next Tuesday for a custody hearing so I can get custody of my brother and sister because no one deserves a mother like her and I don’t want them to be around a drunk for their whole life. Anyway..could I press charges against her for child abuse and neglect? I mean, she doesn’t really spend any time with them at all, she basically comes home from her “job” and then goes straight to the bar leaving both a 4 year old at home by himself and a 16 year old to care for him. She will call me and tell me shes going to have people come to my house and kill me and that I better watch out next time I get into my care. I know there’s some type of charge I can do for threatening to kill someone or harm someone. She’s also left bruises not only on me, but my sister Erin too. The night she moved out and came to my house with Kyle, my mom had hit her with a baseball bat in the stomach. What sort of charges can I press on my mother?
