Yes, major drug/gun problems. And poor test results. It really is bad.

BUT

I have some REALLY GOOD NEWS!!!!

Hubby just talked to his sister, and guess what? She DID talk to her ex's mother, and she IS going to pay for private school tuition!

Not sure why this didn't happen long ago, but all that matters is that it's happening now. They will be attending the same private Catholic school their older bro attended, right there in their neighborhood.

WHEW!

Maybe, just maybe the prospect of having to ship them off to live with their aunt and uncle was enough to make her swallow her pride? It's a thought. Of course, taking a handout from your ex-MIL does mean she may be a bit of a busybody and assert her opinions about how they should be raised...I can see why my SIL didn't want to ask for help. But the MIL is not a bad person either, really. Not like some evil MIL's I've heard about, that's for sure!

Thanks everyone for sending your good wishes.
