A few years back I calle dchild services on my younger sister who was 24 at the time, we were very close friends as well as sisters and we talked all of the time, but then she began using drugs and getting high and becoming an alchoholic. Often she would have dealers and just to be blank "crack heads" in her home, and my neice Lindsy had come to me and told me that her mother let a man rape her for some crack! that's when this all had to stop, so I took all her kids to mu house and hadn't realized most had bruieses on there legs and back and stomachs, so I called child services and they brought thier mother to jail and put them into custody with me, and she has been going to rehabilitation, the problem is now that she's out and clean she hates me, annd her children she won't come see them or anything and that makes her 4 kids really mad, I mean it's not my Fault, is it? also my question is the oldest who was raped has been doing poorley in school, and often curses at teachers and has

You did right. If your sister behaves as
you describe then good riddance.
The rape victim needs counseling.
Try through the school counselor for
a referral.

First of all you did the right thing. Children cannot advocate for themselves, which is where adults come in. Hopefully it is the parents that protect thier children from harm, but when they are not being protected someone MUST keep the safe.

If you sister still hates you for protecting her children from abuse and neglect, she is not better. Any mother in thier right mind would not wish these things on thier children.

As far as what to do for you niece...she needs counseling. Being raped at a young age causes extensive psychological problems. She needs to be able to talk to a professional extensivly about the things that are bothering her or she will develope a dangerous mental illness more likly than not. I'm almost positive that the problems she is having in school is as a result of some form of trama whether it be form the sexual abuse or from being betrayed and abandoned by her parents.

They will probably not take the child she is pregnant with now away until(or if) she does something to hurt it or put it in danger, or is on drugs when the baby is born.

Hope this helps!

wow you are such an awesome person for doing that..
If your sister still hates you then she's not any better then she was cause no right mother would allow their kids to be hurt in anyone by any person no matter what the cause and it sounds like your little niece needs to talk to someone and get all her pain out cause its sounds like its eating at her and making her angry inside and out.. and for the other kids they have a natural right to be mad at their mom and so hun just give your sister some time and for the little ones just keep on doing what your doing cause it sounds to me like your their angel. good luck
