I'm terribly sorry this whole visit has been so challenging for you guys. I feel for The Kid, who must feel uneasy; even if she understands what's happening, it must be a bit frightening for her, because even at a young age, one understands that there is nothing you can rationally do for someone while she's in a near-fugue state, except for getting that person professional care. I understand the police dept's stance, I mean, we can't go committing people left right and center without proof, but it is difficult to be on the other end of the situation...the person left dealing with the situation. I hope the Houseguest's sister will do the right thing, come down, and take care of her sister.
I also hope that other readers will understand your intent in writing this, or, if they are offended, can take you off their list if they so desire. It's a shame that something that was Not Your Problem is suddenly Your Problem. It's not that you're insensitive, but you've got your own shit to deal with, too. This person isn't your family, after all, but your mother's not-too-good friend (by the sounds of it).
