My armchair quarterback opinion is that it is a self-esteem issue. Your sister’s treatment of her daughter seems to reinforce that.
A couple of months ago while at a military function a reservist showed my son a picture he’d gotten via text of a girl in only her panties that he had met at a club and said “would you tap that?” My son replied “I know that girl and she is NOT 18!” He immediately deleted the picture and contact info.
I do not understand why people do this. I’ve been struggling with whether or not I should talk to the girl’s older sister about it. I know her pretty well. The problem is that if I reveal who had the picture HE is in a world of trouble, not only with the state but with the military as well. He really had no idea that the girl was only 16 but that doesn’t matter. On the other hand this girl is exhibiting really unhealthy behavior.
But as to what you can do, can you talk to your sister about what you observed of her treatment of her daughter?
