Something Bad Happened :(

I am so distraught right now. My parents have kind of "taken in" a close family friend to live with them. He's been staying with my parents now for over a year, and he's very close to our family. He had to leave his home with his family because of an abusive situation with his step father. He's like a brother to me. Anyway, his biological mother informed him today that his biological sister has become pregnant by this same abusive step father. This poor girl is only 15 years old, and she's 7 months pregnant. Her mother and step father have 2 other children together as well. So, this would mean that she will have a child by her step father and her mother has 2 children by the step father. The 15 year old girl also has some developmental challenges, meaning that she has the mindset of a 9 year old. She gets so nervous that she pulls her hair out, and now she is nearly bald from doing that. The police have been notified of this matter. But John, the guy that's staying with my parents ( which is this girls brother) is so upset and I don't know what to say to him. I am distraught myself! What a mess. This girls mother tried to make us believe that she "didn't know" her 15 year old daughter was 7-8 months pregnant until yesterday. I have a hard time believing that myself. I just had to vent about all this. It's really getting to me. I just feel so sorry for her and John both.

Thats awful. I feel so sorry for this girl and her child. Hopefully the authorities will do something about it.

Maybe if you help John focus on the fact that his parents have been found out and the fact that the abuse will stop now, it will make both of you feel better. His sister could possibly be moved out of the home where she'll be safe. Lots of good things can come from this if it's managed right. Focus on that and stay allert so that maybe he and your family can help move things in a possitive way.
