If they knowingly let her have the drugs there they could possibly charged as an aider and abetter.

Anything is possible. Just because you claim that the drugs belong to her and not you, that doesn't necessarily mean that the cops and/or the DA will believe you. Obviously, you are better off not having any drugs in the house.

Not unless your mom knows and consents to her drug use. It sounds to me like your sister need professional help.. drug usage and an abusive boyfriend. This is a recipe for real trouble. She needs to get into counseling and treatment.

You both could be charged with the same crime since you have knowledge of the drugs in the house and permitted it.

You cannot get into trouble if your sister has drugs on her.
