Is alcohol addiction of a parent a reason for child services to intervene?

Like excessive. We're talking like multiple bottles of southern comfort a day. The parent hasn't been to work because of this. And in and out of rehab for it?





Like, let's say that there are arguments going on in the home without physical abuse.Is alcohol addiction of a parent a reason for child services to intervene?
You bet especially if it jeopardizes the child's welfareIs alcohol addiction of a parent a reason for child services to intervene?
That definitely is a reason for child services to intervene, especially if the parent is neglecting the child. However, if the parent can reform him/herself, I think that would be much more in the child's interest than taking him away from the parents. Why should the child have to suffer because the parent is irresponsible? I think that the family should have an intervention and send that parent to rehab, where he can reform in a temptation-free, professionally-controlled environment. It would be terrible if the poor child had to be taken away from the parent and put through that if the parent had the capacity to reform.
