Are you sharing because you care about your sister and this baby? Maybe she doesn't want the parents to know or doesn't care because she obviously made a point of stating who already knows and then publicizes it on <edit>social media If you have ignored your family for 5 years why crawl out of the woodwork now and add drama or pain to them all.

You didn't mention if your parents are in contact with your sister. If they are, they will find out soon enough. (probably when the sister comes begging one or both of them for a place to live, money, etc. and taking advantage of them)

Either way, there is nothing you or your parents can legally do to help this unborn child or your sister. If the baby is born with drugs in it's system, it will be taken from your sister. Even if by some miracle the baby is born drug free, if she's living on the streets DCFS, or whatever the agency is in her state, will likely be called in.

I know how brutal that sounds. It's based on a history with similar situations.

If you know where your sister is living the best thing that you could do is contact an agency in that area that helps street people....Maybe then they would get her into housing and provide her and the baby with proper medical care.

Seems like this is a very bad family situation that has gone on for years...sad. Hope things get better for you all.

I think the issue is less to do with telling your mother than your relationship with your sister - what is your MOTIVE in telling your mother?

You sound very bitter towards your mother.

YES!!

Absolutely tell your parents.

This child is at the mercy of your sister's already poor life choices. No reason for the child to pay.

A friend is a librarian in a large public library. There are quite a few people, who appear to be homeless, that come in to use the computers everyday.

This^^

You don't seem to want to step in and try and help your sister, regardless of her pregnancy. It doesn't appear your mother does, either.

Why would your sister want to let either of you in, now, when you excluded her before?

Her posting on FB is a cry for help. Let your parents know, but you stay clear or you'll end up in the place of the baby's father.
