Reply #8: never live with a poisoner is my advice

[pitohui]

google what happens to the liver with tylenol poisoning and decide if you want your sister to live one more day with this person in the home -- an overdose could have had serious and painful consequences

did she legally adopt the child? is there any way to get out of this obligation? counseling doesn't change sociopaths

yes, i would call the cops and press charges, but if they adopted this monster, i don't know how much the cops will do

i know someone who tried this spiking of drinks several times on several occasions, one of the people she disliked died mysteriously...at age 24, and while i think everyone knows who was responsible the cops didn't care or investigate, i am now convinced that poisoners have it pretty easy in this society, this world is not the world of "csi"

i'd tell the sister to get rid of the niece by any legal means necessary, unfortunately it's easier said than done

i don't know if it's a coincidence, but the poisoner i know was also adopted, i think it plays on some kid's minds that they were given away, this example i know will never change, she's in her 40s now, still sexually acts out, still uses drugs, still steals and blackmails money, has been in prison for blackmail/extortion but nothing ever changes

someone who drugs someone's drink is beyond the pale, as far as i'm concerned, it's a matter of saving the rest of the family at that point

of course my advice is OBVIOUSLY colored by the extreme experience i've had w. this person

for years i could not get this person out of my life, believe you me, i did not eat or drink anything at this person's hands
