Parents havn't worked in 3 years!

I know a girl with an almost 4 year old. She does not work. Her husband does not work. He used to have a high paying job, but was fired when the company was sold over 3 years ago. They had just bought a new $360k house right before he was fired. They defaulted on payments on everything, and lost it all about a year ago. He worked a temp job, but was mysteriously "let go" after a few weeks (more like a month). He hasn't worked since, and neither does she. They have been living like gypsies for the past year, and after insulting everyone who has generously taken them and their rowdy dog in, they have no other place to turn but her parents. These parents have taken them in approximately 5 times in the past 3 years, and this girl and husband wind up leaving after about a week because they make outlandish complaints about these people that have been saints to them. Now they moved temporarilly in with one of his relatives after noting that her parents would never see their grandchild again. One of the reasons this girl left her parent's house at a previous time was because she noticed on her father's computer "DYFUS" in the address bar. She jumpped to conclusions and thought he was going to take her child away. He wasn't. He was trying to see if anyone else could, and wanted to protect her and the child. NOW, I wanted to know if anyone knew of any laws in NJ indicating that if the parents haven't worked and are not providing a stable environment for the child (ie: moving constantly) and please note this child has not recieved ANY immunization shots due to his father's "conspiricy theory". Can this child be taken away from the parents while living in NJ? I have a feeling they may be moving to Plordia, soon so that this girl's husband can totaly remove her from her family. Any ideas? Insight? The husband has a VERY hot temper, and after leaving her parent's house the last time, tore a door off the hinges and punched holes in the wall. It isn't the first time he has couse physical damage in anger.

Why is this any of your business? How are you involved
in their lives?

You can, of course, report any child abuse you know of to
the child protective services hotline, but I would suggest that
simply having a hot temper is not evidence that the child is
being abused or that the wife is. Since he damaged property
and not people, it is likely that he knows his temper is bad
and that he does not necessarily physically abuse anyone.

Your *feelings,* however, are not evidence of much of anything.
If you have concrete incidents to report, then I would call the
hotline.
