Ok so there is a man named Daniel that lives in our house so to speak, he is mooch he doesn't do anything and has shown signs of possibly hurting the family,however Chris his dad who is the head of the house hold doesn't want him to leave but my mom is terrified Daniel will hurt her and others she told him to leave and Chris didn't really do anything but Daniel keeps getting into the house every night even though we locked all the doors and windows and such.

Now normally I don't have an issue with Daniel he is a cool guy but if his presence puts the family at risk I don't him around but he is very sick he is in great pain but refuses to see a doctor and knowing he is addict it's possible he doesn't want to because they may find drugs in his blood. But even if we kick him out he doesn't have anywhere to go and I don't like that. But I found out how he is getting in but I don't know if I should tell or not.

How valid do you think your mother's fears are? Can you talk to her about them to substantiate their merit? There's a lot here that is unsaid, as in your mother's relationship to the head of the household. Maybe they need to talk this out and come to a joint conclusion. Unless you think there's a real danger, I would work on the basics before doing anything.

I remember there was a homicide at my old apartment complex after a drug deal. It made me realize the seriousness of those who are involved in drugs and the people they bring around them. If it is possible, I would leave the Chris household asap, especially since Chris is doing nothing to prevent his son from coming or getting drug intervention.

I don't see this as exactly a matter for "Christian" Advice. It's not basically a religious question. However, it's a serious concern about a dangerous situation, so I'd recommend seeking out the advice of police or someone else who is professionally involved with handling this kind of thing.

it sounds like Chris has decided to support your Mom's decision that Daniel has to go, so you should tell him how Daniel is getting back in since he's the head of the household and you are living under his roof (if you oppose his authority, you might find yourself locked out). Daniel needs to hear the gospel, so be ready to share the good news of freedom with him if you get an opportunity where he will listen. your Mom needs to hear God's promises of protection, so speak His words to her (Pslams 91 is a good start).

God isn't ringing His hands wondering what to do about all of this; He knows exactly how to correct this bad situation, but He has to have cooperation from someone in a flesh body - get your focus back to Him so you can perceive His leading; this will help you:
