    Taking custody of brothers
    I am an 18 year old female. I have a steady job at the local hospital. My mother is having a mental breakdown but refuses to relinquish custody. The living conditions are not good. They have no power and no food. I am afraid to turn them into cps and not getting custody of them. I used to take care of them when I livied at home and I know what they need. She also gets Social security checks for them. I am deeply concerned about the welfare of my brothers. I want to take custody of them asap. I would like to know how to do this. Please somebody help.
