Your friend is in trouble and it sounds like you can help.  You should call the police ASAP!!!  If you don't want to report the abuse, report the dope.  \nI don't know how old you are but you if you are in school (not University) then you can tell a school counselor, they are mandated reporters in most states.\nGod luck to you and your friend.

You need to get this woman to a doctor right away.

Is there a rehabilitation center there. They may can help you. I can't understand why they put him in jail. It is unfair. Do they know about his birth defects and about his parents dying? What about a doctor? Surely they would know how you should handle this. It makes me so sad what you are going through. You are a strong person and he is lucky to have a sister like you. Be strong and hopefully you will find the right people that will treat your brother better.

I would consider taking her to a hospital before that happens.  They'll admit her if she is considered a threat to herself or others, and the cuts on her wrist would prove she is.  They can then get people to help her.  \n\nIf she does cut too deep, put pressure on the wound, and get her to the nearest ER immediately.

Put her in the car and drive the 3 hours to the hospital!\n\nBetter safe the sorry.

Unfortunately, this is all too common an occurance.\nFortunately, your brother has more rights than she wants him to have, and she is going all out to keep him from exerting those rights.\nYour brother should go to the Child Services, and ask them for a list of lawyers that they use on a continuing basis. Then he should go to that attorney and talk about his rights, and possibly retaining the lawyer's services. When the court sees a laywer that is ALWAYS in the courtroom fighting for the rights of children, that will hold more weight than the generic ambulance chaser on the street.\nYour brother should also keep a notebook of every time he talks to his ex, and everything that is said, and everything that happens. Everytime the two of them have any contact at all should be documented with who was a witness and what happened. IF possible, have your brother use a speaker phone, and never talk to her without someone else being in the room listening.\nIF it can be recorded, then record the conversation...HAVE HIM TELL HER AT THE OUTSET OF EVERY PHONE CALL THAT SHE IS BEING RECORDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not doing so brings up an entirely new set of challenges.\nAlso, if there are court papers, then it is very likely that your brother is paqying support... have him go to the local office that takes care of such matters (it's Domestic Relations here) and inform them that this is going on, and see what they say.\n\nIf your brother has court-ordered visitation, then she is in contempt of court for denying him that visitation. Get a lawyer.

No way. Now if the family removes the sick step brother from the home, the child could safely go back. Make sure you report this to all authorities and keep you/or the child away from that step brother and press charges. He a rapist! I am so sorry.

You need to be a friend to your friend.  If your friend is being hit, kicked punched or made fun of or teased or threatened in anyway tell your friend to tell a counselor at school or the police.  Also, if the mother is spending the money on drinking instead of buying food or doing laundry or getting clothing for your friend then she needs to tell the counselor or teacher or the police.  Good luck

I think you should go to the hospital were they get treated or call the facility and ask them that question. :)

Sometimes you may have to do more, like talk to the therapist yourself, Tell someone what your friend is doing that makes her a danger to herself or someone else. It isn't easy to get someone in the hospital, but my sister helped her friend and she was hospitalized, my sister spoke to her therapist and they had to go to court. She was cutting herself and doing other things. She really needed the help. I wish I could tell you more of what my sister did for her friend but I don't remember.

Call your local police department they can send you in the right direction.  Your doing a very good thing,  people like that make it hard for people who are really in pain to get the care they need.  Good luck and God bless

Pray. And realize you can't force her to come home. All you can do is be there for her as a sister and let her make her own mistakes. If you push or manipulate, she won't feel safe in turning to you.\n\nAnd I'll be praying for you as well... :)

I would say get out of there as fast as you can! Leave and go find a different place to stay! My prayers are with you, Please be safe! Cuidado!
