my sister is not a bad mom but she started to go down hill and using drugs. She was staying at a bording house with her curnt boyfriend and you could see track marks on her arms one day her kids got up and went out side naked and she was to high to know her kids were 2 and 4. they ended up getting kicked out and I took them in. I also called CPS. while living with me she started prosatuting and she tested positive for more that weed and they took the kids and placed them with my mom and dad.
she didn't know it was me that called untill last night and she tryed to bet the **** out of me. I think that she brusied my collar bone and left a few bumps on my head. I couldn't fight back because my brother tried to cover me and protect me and he took alot of hits. should I press charges? She was in the wrong I only called to make sure the kids were safe and I love them but there mom (my sister) really needs help. if she gets them back I will never see them again and I have helped raise them.

Yes,you need to. If not, itll only be bad for everyone in the long run. Either make her go for a rehabilitation centre or press charges. It has already spiralled out of control. The trauma will be bad for all your family members and a negative effect on the kids. You know what to do. Good luck!

Calm down you've done the right thing. No one loves the truth its always hurts especially when its coming from someone you love. Just pray for her and her kids. God never gives you more than you can handle. She needed the CPS called on her. But most of all she's gonna need your strength and support. Yes you should file charges on her. This will give her some time to clean up a bit if she incarcerated. Also they may have a program for women the she will have to attend as apart of probation to get her life together for herself and kids. But yet still pray for her. If she's good like you say she is God will tell that devil to leave her spirit alone.

I would say YES, please press charges.
This could be the one wake-up call she will actually listen to. If she is locked up away from the heroine, she will stand the chance of detox and possibly getting her head cleared a little.
Right now, your sister is dangerous, both to herself and others. She should not have custody of any children at all... she isn't capable of providing for them.
Right now, the ONLY thing that matters to her is her next fix.
She is a total wild card, and the drugs are doing her thinking for her. If she thinks she can beat the money for her next fix out of you and your brother, she will.
If she decides to tip off some of the local hoods to where the goodies are stashed in your house, she will, and you will be dealing with the aftermath of a burglary.
Just remember that you cannot trust an addict... ever.
You really need to take steps to protect yourself now.

No, don't press charges, that will make things worse. Tell your sister that she is not welcome at your home in her present drug-using state. Tell her you'll be glad to help her get into rehab, on a program, etc,. but you can't deal with the way she is now. Don't worry about her threats regarding the kids. Depending on what drugs she is on, it may be a long, long time before she gets them back, anyhow. When she is clean and sober, you can explain to her that your actions were out of love for the kids. Stay strong !

Your sister has to pull it together. First she needs to be treated from her drug addiction. She has to open her eyes and see what is happening. If you don't do anything to help her, her life will be worst than this and she could become even more troublesome for you and your family. First thing off, your sister should get away from her boyfriend so she won't be anymore victim of violence. Then she has to be treated. give her as much support as possible.
goodluck
