Should I Call Child Protective Services? Tough Situation?

Question by Jenner: Should I call Child Protective Services? Tough situation?
My friend/co-worker is extremely abusive towards her 5 yr old daughter. She is always yelling at her daughter and tells her daughter to shut the fuck up when she whines or is grumpy. She tells her daughter to get the fuck away from her or says don’t fucking touch me when she tries to hug her or sit on her lap. Today she called her daughter a fucking dumb ass because she could open the car door.

My heart goes out to this little girl because she is so unhappy all the time and always acting out because she is needing attention so badly. I have a 3 yr old daughter and I have never nor would ever say the things that my friend says to her daughter, even if somebody paid me. My friend is also a crystal meth addict and the other day I saw her holding a meth pipe as she was driving away from work with her daughter in the car! She knows that I know she does meth and she’s not to worried about keeping it a secret, so I confronted her and asked her if she smokes the stuff in her car when her daughter is in the car with her and she said yes. My jaw dropped and I was speechless.

Should I call child protective services on her? And if I do what would they do exactly? I’m not sure if she hits her daughter but the emotional and mental abuse is awful and just as harmful for this little girl. I feel like I need to do something…not sure what though, call CPS or have a heart to heart with her? Advise please???
She keeps a nice home, clean etc…the living conditions are not bad minus this emotional abuse along with a crazy drug addiction. If I tell them she uses meth will they ask for a drug test?

Call CPS ASAP! If she is doing that in public imagine what she does to this poor child in the privacey of their own home. Do it now before this child ends up in the hospital or dead! Please!!!!????
