Wow, a lot of good comments. Thanks.
For the record, I will not be taking matters into my own hands. I will report the matter to the police. I will probably end up talking to the kids parents and may have the police join me in this. Fortunately, I have some law enforcement in my family locally.
I agree, my niece is heading downhill fast but I think there is hope and the trend can be reversed - but, time is running out.
Fortunately, my parents have raised both my neice & nephew for a large part of their lives and so their is some level of stability and love in thier lives. Unfortunately, my parents are getting older and while still very active for 79, they can't keep up. There are 8 kids in my family and all but one are professionals and care about this. I think that most of us just didn't realize the severity until just this week. If we have to, we may move my niece to one of my (out-of-town) siblings home.
