A: In California, if you're facing accusations of harm against your sister, it's crucial to take immediate action to protect yourself and your siblings. Gather any evidence you have, such as the pictures of the marks on your siblings and any communications that could support your side of the story. This evidence can be critical in showing the court the truth of the situation.

You should also consider speaking with an attorney experienced in family law and child custody matters. They can help you navigate the legal process and advise you on the best course of action. If there is evidence of abuse by their mother, it's important to report this to child protective services. They are equipped to investigate and intervene in cases of child abuse.

Remember, the court's primary concern is the welfare and safety of the children. Your focus should be on providing a safe and stable environment for your siblings and working within the legal system to ensure their well-being. It's a challenging situation, but taking the right steps can help protect both you and your siblings.
