First of all, I would like to thank each and every one of you that has replied to my message. You all have been alot of help in showing me the right direction to go.

I feel that I should add a little more information here though.

I did speak with my fiance about the situation before I placed my first post here. Also, she does know that her parents are fully capeable of performing this dispicable act. In fact, she was a little upset that it took me this long to tell her about it. Our visit down there was anly about a week and a half ago. I was trying to be careful about how to bring it up and was trying to work out the best way to do it. In this case, the best thing would have been staight, to the point and blunt about it.

I'll tell you about the kind of people her parents are, and what makes her and I both believe that they would have no trouble stooping to this level.

She knows actually better than I do that every time they open their mouths, there is a lie flying out. When they take my fiance's sister to her doctor's appoiontments, she is not allowed to go into the office alone. They don't want her to talk to the doctors alone because they constantly coach her on what to say.

They do this because it is their belief that if her medical condition improves, the social security payments will be lost. I posted on the first message about the device that she recently had placed in her neck, well, that was done after several investigations by the social security administration. They were basically made to do this because up until this point in the girl's life, they have never really done anything to try and improve the quality of her life. They take her to the doctor and say that she had been having 10-12 seizures a day. I have been with my fiance for almost four years, and we spent alot of time with her family. I have only seen one seizure in all the time that I have known her.

I mean if she stands up too quickly and gets a little light headed, they convince her that it was a seizure. Also, there was a program that they could have gotten her into specifically designed to teach her to be more self sufficient. It would have taught her how to handle money and actually survive on her own. They would not allow her to attend even though it would have cost them nothing.

And it's not just a case of parents being over protective. That's not their style. A bit too controlling would be more like it. When my fiance was a teen, she had an after school job and was forced to hand over her entire paycheck every week. She had no trouble helping with the bills and such, but she was not allowed to keep any of the money that she worked to earn. Once when she complained about that, her dad said that he would start charging her 20 dollars a day to take her to school and another 20 to take her to work every day.

And there is a whole lot more that I can say, but believe me, I don't have that much time. I could literally write a book comparable in size to War & Peace about this family. My fiance is a little apprehensive about calling an organization like child services out because that has been done before. My fiance and another sister had an investigation started when they were in high school. The social worker came out to the house for a visit. Her dad at that time had a four wheeler in the living room and cranked the damn thing up inside the house while the visitor was there. Nothing was ever resolved. As a result, she does not have alot of confidence in protective organizations in South Georgia.

I believe she is planning on trying to get her sister alone when we go down there to visit and try talking to her very carefully. We'll likely try to get information from her without being too obvious. then we'll just go from there.

Again... thank you all so much for your advice and support!!
