Its a strange situation, if you cant trust your own family then you know theres a problem, its not right if anywhere your money should be safe in the hands of your family. Bring it to everyones attetion, including your mum your dad and your brother, sit them down and demand to know, dont leave until you have the truth. Somebody has taken it, it may be a valied reason it may just be theft something needs to be done, take action its your family you really need to sort this.

 Sorry to hear about this. You don't know who is stealing your cash at this stage so the best thing is not to leave large sums of money in the house (particularly if you think your younger brother maybe using the money to buy stuff he shouldn't like alcohol). If it is in the bank, they cannot steal it, or hide it more carefully in the future. If you really want to know who took your money then you could always get a cheap webcam off ebay (a nanny cam I think they are called) for a few pounds and install it at home secretly in your room - then you will have the evidence! You could leave a honey trap of a tenner or something and see what happens? When you do find out who took your money, handle the situation sensitively or you could start world war three at home. There maybe a good reason why your relatives are stealing your cash like terrible debts, bullying at school or all sorts...tread carefully.
