I am worried for my younger sister (13)

So I got home in the afternoon from work and I was exremely tired. I went straight to bed and woke up around midnight to find my mother crying. It turns out that she noticed my younger sister had been having what appeared to be vision problems earlier that day. My mom noticed she was closing her eyes as if they were irritated and she was sort of cringing. A doctors appointment was made and we were told it was due to stress.

My sister lived with me until she was six and she stayed in another country with an aunt of mine and came back here when she was eight years old. During her stay overseas she was scolded by my aunt very harshly for not being obedient. Often my aunt would make her stay in the basement, shake or spank her. Of course I was upset but my mother told me it could not be helped as right now my aunt was "going out of her way" to help her. My mother was very upset but not much could be done.

After my sister came back she was different in so many ways. The smallest inconvieniences would make her extremely upset. She would hit walls and grind her teeth. If she had problems with homework she would cry and hit herself. My younger sister who used to be outgoing, playful, and innocent became foul tempered and troubled. I was upset at my mom for not trying her best to bring my sister back home and I was upset and my ignorant aunt.

To make matters worse? my aunt that took care of her has now immigrated to my country and what does my family expect of me? To treat her as if nothing happened, as if she never changed my sister for the worst. What am I suppose to do?
