My sister is separated about 3 years. Ex is difficult, contact is through email. My sis moved to get away - 10 miles apart. My sis' conern is that when the children go over at weekends (ages 11 and 9), they say they are always hungry, and are only allowed 3 meals a day. When they ask for snacks, even healthy ones like bread/cheese etc. , they are not allowed them, no matter how hungry they are. Ex's new wife is also not allowed to give the children any snacks between meals even when they are really hungry. If dinner is at 4/5, they are not allowed any food untill the next morning. My sis' daughtre said it's hard to sleep sometimes as she is so hungry. The children say that they have to rely on neighbours to ask for snacks and that they actually ask the nighbours and their children for snacks when they are really hungry. The kids also say that their dad's fridge is full to the brim, though he doesn't have any kids food like yogurts etc. The children have now asked their mum to speak with their dad, but he won't listen. They now don't want to go over at weekends because of this. My sis' doctor was also quite shocked when she said what was happening. Any ideas on how to deal with this - legally or otherwise - not sure if it would be something she could go back to court with - but don't want the hassle and expense of legal route if there is another way.
Thanks.
Thanks.
