[quote=Anonymous]I have been in this situation before it is really hard. A good friend of mine is pretty harsh to her step son. Every time I tried to talk to her about it she would tell me "you don't know him like I do" 
 I think what made it harder was the fact that he was over on the weekends and often his dad was working or out on the weekends and spent most of his time with his Step mom and hardly saw his dad. 
  after talking with the boy (I felt so bad for him I used to take him out to lunch when he would come to visit) I called his mother and told her to some extent what was going on. (that the dad was not home as much as I think she thought he was and that my friend seemed stressed and might be taking some of it out on him).
  The mom ended up changing the custody agreement so that his visits were not as long and it was more quality time (dinner and a movie or something) instead of whole unsupervised weekends.
   unfortunately this friend does not talk to me anymore so with a sister this would be harder. Is there anyway you can talk with the child's mom without your sister finding out? [/quote]
