I would say something as i know if it was me and anythin was to happen to the kids while in his care i would feel so guilty for not saying anything.
hes lucky nothing happened to them when he was passed out drunk.

Something needs to be said, but by the sounds of it she's blind when it comes to this guy. How can she not see that him passing out cold on the sofa was as bad as her leaving the three kids alone in the house? If she's not careful she'll lose them as someone will get social services involved. If her neighbour wwsn't your friend, she'd have probably called the police and those three little ones could be in care right now. Harsh reality I'm afraid.

I'd go mental at my sister if this was her! The kids should come before any man, and that is no way to treat kids!! Poor little things, makes me so sad!

If paul ever did anything like this he would be straight out the door i'm afraid.

maybe get her on her own with your mum to sit and talk explain that she is lucky the neighbour rang you and not police.let her know you are on her side.is it a possibility she is scared of saying anything to her partner?
but if she honestly doesnt think anything is wrong then you need to make the right decision on who else to contact...harsh i know but what if something really bad were to happen...god forbid.? :(
thinking of you at this hard time. xxx

Maybe you should remind her of the risk of prosecution to her. If she goes out leaving them with him while he's drunk she's guilty of neglect and can be prosecuted for it. If one of the children gets hurt while he's paralytic they will both be liable and the children WILL be taken into care .... is he really more important to her than her own children?
