A: If you believe that one of your nephews needs to be placed with Child Protective Services (CPS) due to concerns for their safety or well-being, it is crucial to take immediate action. Contact CPS or your local child protective services agency to report the situation and seek their assistance in assessing the child's living conditions and providing the necessary support and intervention. Additionally, if you wish to file a child support case against the parents for financial support, consult with a family law attorney who can guide you through the process and help ensure the best interests of the children involved are protected.
