[QUOTE="buddy, post: 541629, member: 12886"] Well, if you become worried for his safety, and they have custody, you can call cps for child abandonment. He then can be compelled into treatment and maybe it would light a fire under his grandparents' bottoms to do the legal paperwork. It is so unfair to him to be left on his own like that, even if not emotionally, no one is really able to take control when he can't with things this way. He needs a legal guardian to take control of this. I'm just so sorry it is not a position you as a sister can really (or should have to ) take. You are really abandoned here with this too. That is a lot of trauma for both of you. I'm sorry. There are parents here who have been able to use CPS to get services because they voluntarily called and said they had a child who is in need of services but they are not able to get help. I wonder if you could do that for your brother. They maybe would then legally put him in your custody (or grandparents). It is worth a call. [/QUOTE]
