What a Mess!

Well got an early morning call from my sister. Evidently at my dad's birthday party last night, my 3 1/2 year old niece wandered off and somehow managed to get hurt. She was in my cousin's Florida room, got on their treadmill, which was on high speed, and turned it on. The treadmill evidently was against the wall, so she was essentially trapped on it. From what I am told, she is covered in what my sister describes as "road rash". There was a paramedic at the party, who looked over her and said she would be fine. But my sister called the pediatrician last night and he recommended taking her to the hospital, where they might give her something to help her sleep (she was in a lot of pain). When she got there, they said they wanted to x-ray her foot to check for anything broken. My sister said they x-rayed every bone in her body. Any alarm bells ringing for you yet? Yep, they called CPS on my sister. My niece is one of those kids who constantly has little bruises on her legs and stuff. So between those and the accident, the hospital is suspicious. So my sister is now waiting for someone to show up at her house. Now, my sister does not abuse her kids, but I do think she is a bit neglectful at times. Her kids have drank medicine, drank bubbles, and this same niece got out unnoticed at 2 yrs old and was found by a neighbor wandering down the road. For those who know me, you know she has 4 kids under the age of 4. She is definately in over her head. It's one of those things that make you wonder why God dishes out more than people can handle. As Carla says "If it was anyone but your sister, wouldn't YOU wonder what kind of parent she was?" I live too far away to be of any assistance, so I worry about the kids alot. It's a bad situation. It's so frustrating sometimes and everyone defends her "ohh she does the best with what she has", or "she's a good mother". I just want to ask "why doesn't she do a better job of watching her kids?" But then I just get yelled at for being unsupportive. I'm in a no win situation. So I just try to be sympathetic. What else can I do?
