My sister is heading down the wrong road.

A few months ago, my sister started dating this guy who, we found out later, is involved in gang activity. Since she’s been dating him, she has dropped out of high school, gotten into more serious drugs, and started stealing. It’s like she is a totally different person. My mom is a single mom, and just can’t deal with the stress of it all. We told her she needs to move out, but she keeps on resisting, even though she basically lives with her boyfriend anyways. And in most recent news, we found out that he is abusive towards her. What do we do? Everytime I try and talk to her, she flips out and threatens to smash our house up.

have your mom call the authorities (local police will help) and tell them she cannot deal with her daughter and ask if they can forcibly put her in a juvenile delinquent home.
