I'm so sorry this is happening - this is a lot to deal with. Whether the problem is the drugs or the head injury sure is unclear - or God forbid it could be both. But it's wonderful for your poor niece that you are in town. I think if I were in your position I would find someone at Children's Services or in the social work department to talk to. Because it's not just this one incident, I'm sure. Whether she's having problems with the drugs or whether the head injury is affecting her, it is probably a long-term problem. So your sister needs the right kind of support and even more urgently, your niece needs the right kind of support. Remember that a study found that the thing that helps kids come through bad situations is one responsible adult giving them love and support. It sounds as if that responsible support is you. (Just as an aside, I suspect it must have been your HP working, that you got your A out of the house so recently so you could live a free life and be there for those who need you like your niece! What a wonderful thing that you are there for her!) Apart from consulting people who know how to handle these situations in terms of the law and the system, it sounds to me as if the most important thing is to keep the channels of communication open with your poor niece. She has so much to deal with. Maybe she would be open to an Ala-teen meeting if you could take her to one?
