Not sure if any developments have occurred, but if this girl is not being taken care of (the 10 year old), it sounds like the aunt views her as a burden. She might be thankful (as sad as that is) to have you offer to take her off her hands. Maybe suggest it as "there is a great school in the district with our house, maybe cousin could try it out this year?" If this girl is getting McDonalds, no showers, no sleep and second-hand smoke, she sounds like an afterthought. Your aunt would probably be relieved. Good Luck! |
