ok first off this is indiana, if that changes anything
lets start from the begining. her & her mom were'nt getting along, & my mom & her mom talked on the phone a few times (her mom says she never knows where she is, even tho she NEVER calls her cell! & most of the time shes over at our house) so sis's best friend decided to stay over here for a few days (to cool down), her mom was ok with this, a few days after shes over here she goes home & find the locks & the security code changed & her siblings ignoring her. her mom has threated to call the plice if she comes over without her being there (may have worded this wrong). sis's best friend has talked to CPC a few times, but they seem to ignore her. her mom had kinda tricked our mom into agreeing to take her in, just by a one question from CPC about if she had arrangements for her to stay here, she thought by arrangements they meant temporarily, but the word means for a long while, wich is what this 'loophole' or w/e is.
what now?...

If this girl is a minor the mother could go to jail for endangerment. Also, if this girl can prove residency she can take her Mom to court and sue. Most states require 30 to 60 days notice prior to eviction. She should consult an attorney.
Edit: The problem with the mother slyly tricking someone.... if this girl is put out to the streets because the arrangement was temporary, I cannot see how CPC could ignore it. The police may need to get involved, especially if the mother taking this girl in says "it was temporary and now it's over"

The important point is - how old is she? If the child is a minor, CPS would have to act to protect the child; and your mother could end up with a kidnapping charge if she doesn't have permission of the legal guardian for the child to stay with her.
If the child is over the age of consent, and legally an adult (you'll need to check that for your state) then the mother has every right to throw her out.

ummm if she is a minor her mother is breaking the law. She is required to provide her daughter a living situation in her home. The question is why would said girl even want to go back home.

Is this girl a minor? If she is, she needs to call the police and report her own abandonment. Her mother will be arrested.
