to prove such a serious accusation, the children would have to be very neglected, eg: no nutritional meals, unkempt appearance, physical abuse etc..this would need documentation by a Social service agency.

If you suspect a parent is unfit, you would contact the division of child social services in your state with a complaint, they will conduct an investigation and take it from there. Tread carefully. If the mother truly is not unfit and you are doing this with the aim of obtaining custody of the child, there are a myriad of Horror stories out there regarding parents filing reports based on revenge, not on fact, and both lose their child/ren to the state as a result.
