 Hi,
Doesnt sound like she has your brothers best interest's at heart does it?
Is there another member of the family you could ask advice from? I'm sure you have the best intentions offering to look after him, but are you prepared to look after a boy that is just about to become a teenager, and at the most difficult stage of his life. Saying that if it were my brother I would do exactlly the same as you and try to help him. It would be nice if you had some back-up thats all.
Good luck to you both XXX

Stop giving her money and tell her you want to take care of him yourself.
If she causes problems then threaten to go to the authorities. Surely it cannot be legal to let a child go hungry in your country.
Tell her you will let everyone in town know that she steals money to buy herself gifts and lets the child in her care go hungry.
It will be much easier for her to hand him over than risk all that fuss.
Good Luck!! xx
