Are we doing the right thing by not talking to my sister?

She gave birth to her 3rd child last week, and she has been court ordered not to have any type of contact with her other two children because she is a crack addict and an alcoholic. In her 8th month of pregnancy, we had found out she was smoking crack and drinking while she was pregnant. Me and my other sister gave her the choice to either commit herself to treatment, or we would commit her ourselves. She has been in and out of rehab for a couple of years and has been smoking crack for years. We have contacted all the proper authorities and nothing was done. She was allowed to leave the hospital with that baby. My family and I will have no contact with her at all. She was supposed to go into sober housing after she had the baby, and instead moved to a bad side of town in an over crowded apt. It is hard not to see the baby, but we are hoping she will be taken from her. Are we doing the right thing?

Did I do the right thing by calling the jail and telling them that an inmate’s son was just born?

The guy can’t call anyone because everyone has that block so you can’t call collect. He is in jail for petty theft. It was really dumb on his part because he knew that his girlfriend could be having his baby anytime. It was 2-weeks early and unfortunately, his court date was tomorrow and they probably would have let him out.
ANYWAYS! I called the jail (it’s a small jail) and talked to a nice jailer and she told me that she’d relay the message that his little boy was born around midnight last night and is doing just fine! It’s his first baby. They are both friends of mine. I just hope that maybe this will be a MAJOR WAKE-UP CALL to him! Hopefully, someone taped it. I guess her mom and dad were with her. He does have a drug addiction (that’s why he stole). When I first met him, he was totally different. I think she should give him an ultimatum and if he won’t get help then get a restraining order but she LOVES him too much. She’s the prettiest, sweetest girl and she just turned 21. He’s going to be 29 and he’s tried to corrupt her. Maybe I’ll get some “MYOB” but I see myself in this girl 15 years ago (I’m 36). I was very pretty, had tons going for me, had very supportive parents, had everything I could want but I threw it away for drugs.
