Well....whats the truth. You suspect that she is on drugs and she is friends with criminals. But how do you know? Are you sure about it? You have to be sure. Ask her, or be careful on her behavior.

Let her know not to get involved with any crimes and troubles. If her friends are criminals, and if they are still not caught by cops, then you can report that to the police. IF she is on drugs, she needs help to get over the addiction if she is addicted.

From personal experience with my mothers addictions my grandmother took me and my younger sister under her roof after she called the cops on her and they did what needed to be done. Its hard doing this to your child but now days there are pervs out there that would do anything to make some money for drugs and not to scare you that could mean that your daughter could be raped and other things. Think of your family, what would be best, is she a good mother? Does she take all the responsibilities there are in parenting?

hmmm that is a hard one.. Bottom line is that you need to think about your grandchild. If she is putting him/her in danger than you need to act. Maybe even just threatening to act. Maybe say if she is not going to take control of her life and set a better example for her child then you will be forced to file for custody of the baby. I hope your suspicions are wrong. But usually the mothers instinct is right on track. I wish you the best of luck and keep you and your family in my prayers!

thats tough, she'll be mad at you at first but you need to help that poor baby, next time you suspect shes on drugs, call the police and explain the situation, they can hall her in for medical clearence and do some blood draws, and if she is shes an unfit mother.

she needs a wake up call, time to grow up if she cares at all for her child she needs to go to rehab and take care that baby

Unfortunatly, she is old enough to make her choices but her child is not. Call CPS. She may be angry with you but I suspect if she is on drugs she is probably angry with you alot anyways, right? She will be defensive but if she pulls out of it she will love you even more.

Good luck. I hope it works out okay for you and your family

Call Child Protective Services on her. Who cares if she gets mad at you for doing it. She is grown and if she wants to mess up her life that is her choice. Her baby is innocent and someone needs to protect him. If you think she is on drugs keep calling, they will soon do something about it.
