I am an aunt of a 7 year old boy who is my sisters son. His first three years of life my mother and I raised him. My sister now has him and is having problems. My nephew isnt performing well in school. Her boyfriend blames everything on my nephew and this lowers his self esteem while his daughters do whatever they want without being punished. He tells my nephew things like..." you are stupid", "You're a pig", "You're disgusting", " Im sick because of you", "Because of you im sick and its all your fault", "Im embarassed of you". This makes my nephew get emotionally worse and mentally worse since this is only bringing his self esteem down. My Nephews father has not been in his life and my sister allows her boyfriend to control her money, life and even hits my nephew which isnt his child. He says" If my parents did it to me why cant I do it to him". He has gone to anger management before because he beat his previous girlfriend which ended up in a battery charge against him. Both my sister and him talk in an unproper language to their kids using these words for example" Stupid bitch", "Idiot", "I hate you" He talks about changing his schools or placing him in special ed classes but my nephew is a good kid, he just talks a lot in class but he is smart and loves to read. He isnt a trouble maker, he gets home from school and does his homework. He isnt allowed to play with neighbors.
I want to know if there is something I can do for him...to help him because my sister doesnt care she follows what her boyfriend tells her to do.
I feel as if hes being emotionally abused and neglected since they leave him out of activities such as going to the movies for any little reason. If its necessary im even thinking about custody, im a college student but this kid means the world to me and I believe he should be in a safe environment, cigarrete smoke free, where alcohol isnt present, where there is no profanity, where he is motivated not brought down and is helpful to him. He gets punished for not paying attention to his homework, but it doesnt make sense...they make him do his homework in the living room while they are watching movies and their 4 year old is playing. He needs his own room, he needs his quiet space to concentrate and do his homework.
