Worried for a child

Hey everyone, I'm Reen, I'm 16 and currently 28weeks pregnant with my first baby..
I have just started caring for a friend of mines son who is 20 months old... He was born 3months premature and is to be hinest doing terribly he is at the age level size and weight of a 10month old hence writing in this community..
When I opened his lunch box on Tuesday the first day of care I was shocked at what I saw..
He had a single slice of white bread with absolutly nothing on it to flavour and was stale by 10am, a suragy unhealthy bar and 4 plain biscuits that were for during the day when he got upset.
I would like to know what you all think of this.. I know money and food is not a problem in this house and what I saw is child service material.
Tips on what I could do to help him in all areas..
Learning weight everything please...
Thank you

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
When we had him the other day after he had eaten a friend of ours came over and was glad to see that he had color to him. Other then him being wayy too small I don't think there is anything else!

She has been investigated before because of the things she has done and ended up being able to lie her way out of it!
sometimes other people have to step in and help protect the innocent when thier own parents do not....
do you believe that everything happens for a reason? that helpless little baby came into your care, and you have the power to help....
as horrible as this story is to read, it is comforting to know that you care and are looking out for him...he needs you
I am sorry you are in such a tough spot. I suppose I'd do it anonymously so that she wouldn't discover it was you. Then you wouldn't have the opportunity to care for him and watch over things. Good luck and I hope this little boy starts getting the care he needs.
I know what you mean by it is a releif in a way because now I can help where I can.
I have been feeding him what I can where I can but not giving him too much so to avoid him getting sick..
I am really considering calling Child services
