Don't feel awful ........... what you said was absolutely spot on. She has a major problem and those children are at risk. She needs help urgently. It is bad enough putting her own children at risk at that young an age but a neighbours daughter as well - that is not on.

Sorry to sound harsh but you must not lie or get involved with her trying to cover up. Those poor children need to be protected.

Off soap box now..............sorry but she is being totally selfish and out of order.
