What would you do if you were in this situation...

I got a call from my sister yesterday..she lives in Texas with her husband he is in the Army and he just came back from being sent over seas...my sister took in a roommate after he husband left to go over seas and I think she just felt bad for the women she has a son and no where to live but her car. So my sister ends up visiting me in NY and then to ME. while she is gone the roommate is taking care of the house for my sister and them my sister goes back to Texas and I guess her roommate doenst have a job or anything and is a lot taking off leaving her son in my sisters care while she goes to see a boyfriend or something like that. She does this a lot and not even asking my sister do you mind, just telling her I am taking off. During the phone call I get yesterday my sister tells me she is upset ( she is pregnant right now as well ) she said her roommate took one of her husband checks and wrote it out to pay for one of her bills and didnt even say anything to my sister or brother in law about it. then the roommate ran up the cable bill to over $1000.00. I told my sister call the cops on her and kick her out. My sister tells me I cant I have an unpaid speeding ticket I havent paid for and I dont want my roommater to use that against me..I told her the speeding tiket has nothing to do with that roommate using one of her husbands checks wiht out permission..so my sister wants to take care of her speeding ticket first. The speeding ticket is in Mass.  What would you do in that situation? I think I would personally kick the women out even tho she has a son and I would feel bad for the son.  I would take her to court and sue for all the money she owns plus back rent money she owes. I really think it is kinda my sister fault first of all she didnt know who the women was before inviting her to live with her. She knew nothing about her..for all she knew that women could be a scam person and I think she just proved to my sister that she isnt a very nice person and has no bad feelings about stealing money to pay for her bills.

I'm not sure what the speeding ticket in Mass has to do with her calling the police.  But I certainly would call the police, the roommate committed a crime by forging a cheque.  I would also kick her out and if need be, get a restraining order - sounds like bad news to me.

The ticket does not have anything to do with what's happening now.  I would call the police , tell the woman to leave, and with the police there state your concern for the child.  I'd take her to court for the money that was stolen too.  Probably not charge for rent, especially if your sister offered her a home.  But I would get the woman out ASAP.

She's probably scared of getting arrested herself. I am from KY and had an unpaid speeding ticket before from another state. They put a warrant out for my arrest for not paying or showing up to court.

kick her out!!

Kick her out. If she stays, the ticket will be the least of her worries. Offer to let her son stay while she finds a place to live, but I would get her out of there ASAP.

Call the cops ASAP, get her the he** out. If they have to won't the police put her son in  some kinda home until his mom gets her act together? Or maybe even give him to his dad? IDK but I'd get her outta there ASAP!!
