Jesus, anon. I'm sorry. That's really, really terrible. I don't know that there's one answer to "what to do"--every family and situation is different, and that's just out of left field. But some things you might think about:

- Talk to your brother about it? If he was underage at the time, that could be a sign that other things were going on with him, and maybe there's more to this story. Depending on his general temperament, your relationship with him, etc., maybe he's a fair person to go to--if you think that you'd be comfortable with that.

- Maybe reach out to a counselor? Family therapy is a thing, and since this is something nobody is prepared to handle, having a professional on board to smooth things over would help. (Plus, your niece should probably see a therapist.)

- Try not to panic/jump to conclusions/assume that this is going to ruin the family. When huge things like this come out, it's scary, and relationships change, and it's unpleasant, but take it slow. This has just come out; you don't have to fix it right away. Focus on the positives, keep good communication between everyone, and try to just take things as they come.

Thanks for the advice. My sis and niece are both in therapy (from other things) so I think I will suggest they talk to a therapist together.
