Just so we are clear, I absolutely think something needs to be done to protect this child, but what happens if the boy in this situation is also 12?

Either they will both get in trouble or neither will get in trouble. However, they both might very well get yanked from their homes and put into foster care.

Depends. Both are acting inappropriately and both should be dealt with. If the boy is older, he is going to be charged with a sex crime.

OP.....get the 12, 7, 5 year old to safety...like yesterday if possible ...let's not worry about some seriously misbehaving boys just yet. And your sister is part of the problem not the solution.

A 12 year old girl deserves somebody who cares....

Thank you. I definitely agree, and I am making preparations for all 3. They are being supervised over this Christmas break and will be out of that environment before the New Year.

So the authorities are investigating, yes? Good.

I have no idea. All I know is she has had boys at the house on multiple occasions. Sister went home on break one day and a kid jumped out the window from the second floor. The first time, multiple boys were over, but she only had sex with one. They stole a few items out of her house. She was afraid to call the cops because of her age.

I have been talking with her this morning, and she did admit that she needs the help, so hopefully they will come stay with me at least for the remainder of the school year, but i am going to see if she will let me get guardianship over my niece, the same way she did with her oldest daughter and my mom.

So wait, your sister (this 12 year old's mom) SAW these kids at her house. Knows they were not supposed to be there. They stole stuff - and she didn't call the cops because she was worried about her daughter? When my daughter is 12 and I come home from work and I see a bunch of little shitheads in my house who aren't allowed to be there I will call the cops on every single one of them. If I find out my daughter had sex with one of them, first I'm gonna put her ass on birth control. Then I'm going to make sure she doesn't see those kids again. If I find out the ages of the kid she had sex with I'm going to call the cops especially if it's someone over 18.

How would you not know that a 12 year old can't consent? You didn't know that children can't consent to most anything? Minors legally can't consent to a lot of things. It doesn't matter what you did at 12. As an adult you SHOULD know that children cannot consent to sex!! No matter how old the other kid is.
