I want to help a child

Chuck I've been through this on both sides.
When my wife died in 02 I was the legal guardian of her youngest daughter who was 13 at the time. I also became disabled shortly after and was unable to keep my lawn mowed or really do much of anything. A couple of her friends parents thought I was unfit to raise her on my own. Though on the outside it looked like she was living in squalor in fact she was very well taken care of because she had a step-father who loved her (me). She was always as happy as a young girl could be who has lost her mother and father (he was murdered 2 years after her mother died) and a couple of times asked me to take in one of her friends who had 2 parents but not the love that my step-daughter got at home (that's what she told me). I told her that unless the girl was being abused there was really nothing I could do. She may not of had all the material things her friends had but that never really bothered her because she knew she was loved.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is we are not the ones to judge especially when we aren't personally involved.
We may think from what we perceive that conditions are bad when in reality they aren't.
If you know for a fact the girl is being physically or mentally abused by either of her parents then do whatever you can to stop it, if not then let her live her life. What may seem like hell to one may be heaven to another.
