What Can I Do About My Sister Spending Her Sons SSI on Drugs?

Question by johnsonpe4: What can I do about my sister spending her sons SSI on drugs?
My nephew is on SSI for reasons not completely known to me. My sister is his custodial parent but does not provide for him in the slightest. My mother/his grandmother who is disabled herself and can barely care for herself is the one who actually takes care of him. Every month when his money comes in. Money meant to keep him fed clothed and housed in school. Is instead spent on her drug addiction. I’ve gone so far as to spend my own money to get him socks because she won’t. But I can provide for him completely because I have 2 sons of my own who I raise by myself. He has next to no clothes and has even recently been expelled from school. But that’s all besides the point. Over the passed year I have reported her to social security twice and they have done NOTHING to stop her. So a few days ago I called the sheriffs department to see what they could do. Apparently they can do nothing apart from catching her with her junk on her. What else can I do to help stop what she is doing? I really could care less about her drug habit. But she should not be doing it on my nephews money. Any real tips or advice would be nice and VERY helpful. Thanks in advance.
1. My nephew does not live with me.

I would like to know more about ketamine and its effects upon those who are addicted to it. I figured my best bet would be to look for patients in substance abuse treatment centers and ask them about their experience with the drug.

Finding substance abuse treatment centers won’t take you too much time. Just the links below will get to help you out in your search. You can also get recommendations from doctors and healthcare providers. The problem here, though, is that treatment centers are usually very stringent about the privacy of their patients. You will probably have to settle with interviewing the therapists and counselors. Nevertheless, good luck!
