It broke my heart when he stole my High school graduation ring. My mother worked soo hard for that ring. He once conned my mother out 2k worth of her mortgage payments. The bank was going to foreclose on her house. I had to pay it. He almost got my mother shot by police.( told his shrink he was going to kill someon while they talked on the phone. he said he had means and opportunity. the shrink called 911 and kept my brother on the phone while the cops arrived) He walked out of his bedroom with a machete raised and my mother walked out of her bedroom to see "what the hell all the hell was all the commotion was about"! the police see weapon, they draw theirs and yell at my mom to drop to the ground. Good thing her maternal instinct was stronger than her respect for authority. This is just one of many stories. the point is CALL THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IF YOU SUSPECT HER TO BE USING DRUGS! THE SAFETY OF THE INFANT IS MOST IMPORTANT.
