My sister is no longer a child, so she's not protected under those laws. My state is one of the few that doesn't really have clear protection for disabled adults- there are laws against elderly abuse and child abuse, but if you're somewhere in between, too bad for you!
What I have been through is nothing compared to what they've done to her, and what they're still doing to her. A couple of more details to clarify some things-
I live 2 states away from them, so she would have to find a new job and such, and where I live, the economy isn't the greatest for the skills she has. I'm scared to call a county official- a close relative holds a prominent political office in the county where they life, so I'm not sure if anything would be done about it. I'm also scared to do something for fear that they will hurt her more for telling someone what's going on, or for fear that I will be cut off from my family (not financially, but essentailly kicked out of the family so to speak) for speaking out against what's going on.
I thank you all for the support and help.
