I am a 22 year old mother of a 1 yr. old and I'm a full time student. I recently find out that my sister is really bad on drugs and my 8 yr. old neice is stuck in a house of drugs she is changing her mood and behavior this has also affected her school work I'm getting very nevous about her and I don't know what i can do. My sister and I aren't talking because she stole all my money last week. I have to find a way to get my niece out of her house before she gets anymore screwed up or hurt. She knows what is going on and I am scared.I have her for a few hours every day and all weekend but she still goes home to her mother I am affraid that if I call the cops they will take her to a foster home and that will ruin her. I don't know if I can get custody because I work only a few hours a week, I am and shcool too. What can I do? I need to do somthing very soon.

Are your parents around or available to help? If you are really concerned about your niece's safety and well being, then contact your state's Department of Children's and Families and let them know. Maybe if an investigator shows up at your sister's house, that will scare her enough into getting her life straight if she realizes that she may loose her daughter. Good luck!
