This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done

This is by far the BEST thing I have read on these boards, ever!

You don't say to what extent the child isn't being fed properly, or the house is a mess.

Is it that you think the child doesn't have a healthy balanced diet, or that she doesn't get given meals/enough food?

Is there rubbish spilling out of the bin onto the floor, or are there just toys everywhere and it needs dusting?

update for everyone,

i spoke to the childs headteacher and she has done a home visit.

seems like it was not just me worried.

there is going to be some outside agency involvement.

thanks again for all the advice but for anyone in the same situation this could be an alternative route to take and i asked and the call can be made anonymously (mine wasn't as i was so angry with a new incident involving her i just had to do something)
