How can you help those who don't care?

It has happened again. I do not know what to do. I am not likely to talk about these things much because I do not like everyone to know that this is something I deal with. My mother in law is addicted to crack/cocaine. I have been married almost seven years and my six year old sister-in-law has lived in and out of my house as well as many others while her mother is supposedly getting well. HRS comes in and takes the baby and then gives her back when the mom goes trhough rehab. The hard part is not on the mom. It is this poor innocent child. This baby that did not ever ask to come here. She is now six and has so many problems. She thinks she is grown and has been involved in things little girls should never see. Yet in the state of Florida the parent wins. The law does not even work for the kids really.

So that sounds bad right?

No this is even worse...my sister inlaw that just lost her son. My beautiful nephew Kyler. She is five months pregnant. She is smoking crack now too. I can hardly type for the tears streaming out of my eyes right now. I can not imagine doing anything to harm my kids. I just do not understand. We called and talked to some people at children and families and there is nothing to do. The state can not help until after she has this baby and by the time the baby is born he is going to be addicted and maybe deformed. I will love him all the same..I just want to be able to save him. I want to help him. I want him to feel loved, not left. I do not want to lose another nephew. The sad part is that if only I would have known how she was...maybe I could have saved Kyler. Maybe he would still be here. Maybe..maybe..maybe. I just can't be on the sidelines anymore. I need to be more involved, but not to a point where my kids can be hurt. Because they are still my first priority.

Anyone who knows how I can get more involved with getting these children some help. Besides only HRS, for they can only do so much, and won't go any further than they have to. Please, help if you can.

I do not know why people do what they do but I know that once you have an addiction you are no longer yourself but rather you are a slave to your private demons that drive you to get the next high by any means necessary. I pray that GOD will protect your sister and your unborn nephew. I know that it has to be alot to deal with but you and your family will be in my prayers. I pray that GOD will open the eyes of your M-I-L and your Sis-in-Law long enough for them to make a wise and clear decision about thier lives. Continue to walk worthy before your children and those around you. We never know what it is that drives people to such measures but I do know that sensibly thinking people never want that type of life. This leads me to believe that both of them (without the high) loathe not only what they are doing to their own bodies but to their family and their babies. Be encouraged!!!

This is a very tough situation and I don't have any information on how to help. However, you might want to get in touch with Sue who is dealing with something like that and she might be able to provide some answers. This is awful but your #1 priority has to be your children. You do not want them exposed to that situation.......you must preserve your children's innocence as best as you can. I am so sorry that you and your husband have to deal with that. I pray that God will provide healing to those family members and the innocent children. May God bless you!
