    I would not make a call unless she is absolutely, positively certain of what she thinks she saw.

    Having said that, second hand smoke is second hand smoke. So, unless you are calling about anyone that smokes with their child in the home....well....

    I am just not certain I would call CPS because I thought I smelled pot around someone that has a child.

    I'm with Cataholic on this one. I think you need to consider whether you've really witnessed child abuse, or whether you just disapprove of the parents' lifestyle.

    I agree 100%.

    Just because you get a "bad vibe" about this woman and her boyfriend, it is no reason to get involved based on the few minor things you have seen.

    Had you seen any actual abuse, or hard drugs (not just the smell of marijuana) I would say notify the authorities, but I don't think this is enough.

    Alright guys, this is why I came to you. How about if I notice anything else wierd, or something else happens, I will contact the authorities. If not, then I'll leave it alone?

    I just wasn't sure if what I was seeing was a "big deal" or not.
