I'm really sorry things have gotten worse for your sister, it sounds like she has a lot of anger- and with your parent's indifference she has every right to. I would have given anything to have such a supportive sister like you at that age. I really, really feel the right therp will help your sister. I know ones in so. Cal who specialize in SI, but if you're in a different part of the country- you might try calling in-patient adolescent psych hospitals- the ones that primarily deal with SI and eating disorders (you would be surprised how they go hand in hand) and ask them for names of therps. then I would try calling them to get a feel whether they would be a good fit for your sister. and then you're going to have to convice her somehow to go; it's so difficult at that age. you might want to ask the therp for suggestions.
best of luck- judy
