Answer 1

You started it, now its not going quite like it was planned?

Some outside force, pointed out to her that violence gets you stuff.  So she came home and playfully poked you, and you played back.  Sure enough, violence does get you stuff.  If I want to play with my sibling, all I have to do is hit her.  

So last night, she hit mom and got more then she bargained for, but so did you.  The outside force did not stop training her.  She now is not afraid of using weapons.  More than likely if she wanted you dead, you would be dead.  She wanted you to understand that she is not a little kid that can be pushed around anymore, that she has learned from you that violence IS the answer, and she has the means to carry it out.

The answer is not easy.  Unlearning something that has been taught like this is often not successful.   There are rapists,  assaulters, murderers and child molesters that were taught by their loving family the methods and morality of their actions.

I would suggest starting by family counseling.   Hopefully its not too late for her, or for you, but mostly because there is an unborn child who needs to grow up in a home free of violence, and unless the pattern stops, it will keep going.

Answer 2

Sounds like she is using drugs, take her to a doctor, and limit her contact with people outside the home so that her supply line is cut off.

I maybe be wrong about the drugs, so see a doctor it can be two or three other medical conditions but a head scan and blood test will be required to rule them out good luck and do not worry until you know for sure why your sister is acting this way

Answer 3

mite be drugs or she might be getting bullied and shes taking it out on you guys

Answer 4

She needs to go to the doctor. Could be drugs, medical condition, or mental illness.
