My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Michigan
I found out yesterday that I have a half sister who is about 6 months old. My bio-father and his girlfriend had already had the first taken away due to neglect, and now little Thomas is in a foster home. So now that i have a sister, I don't want that happening to Bianca. My bio-dad is an alcoholic, verbally abusive, was abuse to my mother physically when they were married and verbally to me, he also has 2 other children who he has neglected. They are now 19 and 20. I guess what I really want to know is, if I am able to get custody of my sister or maybe even adopt her so that she wont have to see him or go through anything the rest of us kids have had to,....do I have a chance? I so badly want to get her out of that situation! A friend of ours live near him an often tell us how bad she smells and that her diaper always look full, that shes constantly crying. Its breaking my heart. I do not want her in a foster home... there have been too many cases where the children were worse off there then at home. I don't know what to do
