Thanks for all the wonderful advice. I've contacted family services to see what they suggest, and one day soon (not just yet) ill be sitting grandma down and telling it to her straight.

:( That doesn't sound like a good situation for your grandparents at all. Unfortunately people are allowed to make their own decisions including letting people take advantage of them. You could talk to your grandparents about your concern, but if they chose to live that way that's their prerogative. Sometimes you just have to step back, take care of yourself, and let people figure it out on their own. BUT, if it's a serious problem, you can report this situation as dependent adult abuse. It will be a report as abuse by their son and abuse by themselves. DHS will step in and make sure your grandparents are in a safe situation and since it would be a dependent adult abuse case they may not have a choice as to whether or not they should change, it's different than a domestic abuse case.

PS, basically every state allows underage drinking with parental consent
Quote:
Anyone who plans to supply alcohol to a minor in their home will need to get permission from the young person's parent or legal guardian.
Permission can be given verbally or in writing - but the person who will supply the alcohol needs to be very confident that they have the permission they need from the parent responsible. This is because if there is a question about whether permission had been given, the person who supplied the alcohol will need to prove that they had permission.
And even if you have permission from parents to supply alcohol, it's important to remember that if you don't serve alcohol responsibly, you may be breaking other laws and breaching your duty of care.
from http://www.teendrinkinglaw.vic.gov.a...ts/the_law.php
and here's the long list of what exactly is or isn't legal, pretty much anything with consent in 43 states

Call the cops during one of their little parties when he's letting his daughters' friends get drunk. It may be legal to give your own child alcohol, but I'm positive it's not okay to give it to her underage friends. He'll get busted as the enabler.
I have no sympathy for a guy like your "uncle". Do what you need to to get him out. Like others have said, call the cops when you know he's going to get drugs. Have them ready and waiting for him at your house. Call in a stolen vehicle report. I dunno how things work in Canada, but I'm pretty sure drugs and grand theft auto aren't legal there.

Update:
His daughter thought it would be funny to put me up on a website where you give "dirt" on a person and then people can comment.
She said things such as my tattoos are bad, I have STDs, and need to be put down by the pound.
She was retarded enough to do this at school where someone said that she and her friends were putting me up and he confirmed it was her.
My grandma and aunt went to the school today to talk to the principal. Seems the principal already knew, hmmm.
He had to call my uncle for permission to talk about her, he denied it then promptly called my grandmother who was in the office at the time and screamed and freaked out on her. The principal heard everything.
When grandma got home she and her sister went downstairs.
She told him he has to move out.
