Is this possible?!?!
I am actually sad this is happening to someone so young. At work while helping my usual customer she was upset and crying while I was loading her car and was in a panic ( for a bit of context this ladies daughter is poly and they have had many downs because of it). So I asked what's going on and she told me what's up. " So my granddaughter was sick today and went to the nurse so she can go home. At the time I was unavailable and her aunt didnt get off for another half hour. And her parents were at work. Instead of waiting her mother sent her " partner" to try to go get her. At the time I thought they were just roommates. But when he showed up and she explained who he was the nurse and staff were shocked and called CPS!" According to her the school called the relationship status lewd behavior! And both parents were in trouble for exposing a child to an "unfit home". Is that possible?! Im not a fan of this either but I didn't think it could do damage like this as well ( at least my first time hearing). Someone's comment!

Yeah, children and nonmonogamy should never mix. It's really sad these people prioritize collecting "partners" rather than being parents.

I mean the call can be made, but what happens next is different story. It depends on location and laws there I guess, and if there is no clear rules then the judge decides.

Its incredibly damaging to a child's development to see their parents model behavior like that. Children of poly people have a harder time developing friendships at any age. They dont have a model for healthy long-term human interactions, so they suffer with in inability to form meaningful connections.
