Can an older sibling sign a younger sibling into an inpatient hospital program?

Parent/guardian absent and irresponsible, 13 y/o is showing serious signs of depression, has self mutilated/planned a suicide. Older sibling is concerned and wants to help his/her younger brother/sister but parent is manipulating situation so that the state doesn't catch on to her being an incompetent parent.

Try calling child protective services in your area and asking them what to do.

If sibling makes suicide threat get him/her to hospital immediately, preferably by calling ems.
