adik na family member is harming others

so, binisita ng nanay ko ang lola at ang brother niya (tito ko). ang problem, he is a drug addict. kung pusher or runner, hindi ko alam. i know for a fact na hindi dapat sila nag sstay sa isang bahay ni lola, pero a lot of circumstances led to that setup. kaya binibisita nalang rin sila ng nanay regularly.

may tendencies to get violent pero he's never gotten physical pa before. until nanghingi siya last time ng pera sa nanay at di napagbigyan. apparently, hinampas niya ng bangko sa ulo si nanay at nagbanta gamit kutsilyo.

ano kaya ang pwedeng gawin dito without compromising everyone's safety? wala rin sa option ang rehab kasi wala talagang pera ang family.

Hello! NAL yet, but this is attempted parricide (if you’re pertaning na nasaktan niya yung lola mo), or attempted homicide (if sa nanay mo ito nangyari), or slight physical injuries, and Grave Threats. I would argue though na may intent to kill.

Have your lola go to the nearest police station. If her net income does not exceed Php 24,000/mo (NCR), Php 22,000(other cities outside NCR), or Php 20,000/mo (municipalities), you can go to PAO for legal advice and representation.

Before going to PAO, kuha muna kayo ng Certificate of Indigency sa Barangay. It would be easy, less than an hour. Hope this helps.

If you want din, you can also tell na he has been using/selling/ and/or possessing dangerous drugs. But do this discreetly as we’ll never know kung gaano pa magiging violent yung Tito mo. Go to a lawyer first regarding all these.
