We're slowly getting the whole picture here. If she's borderline retarded, as her actions and history would seem to indicate, perhaps it's not that she wants to neglect the children, but genuinely does not know how to take care of them. In other words, perhaps Social Services can assign a social worker to teach her how to be a mom. Happens all the time.

Oh I understand better now of this situation and I agree with Shakran. Lot's of people don't like to admit when they can't cope or don't even realise until help takes over. You're a good mom Raeanna and you know this isn't the right environment for these kids. I've never had any dealings with Child Services, but I would assume they'd be more willing to offer assistance then totally remove the kids unless they were in danger. Could you perhaps word it that way to Child Services - that she just needs some help?
Sadly though, I still believe that in many cases it is a cycle and I feel so sorry for the innocent kids that are along for the ride.
