9 year old daughter to sleep in room with 13year old half brother

My daughter came home last night in

tears early from visitation with her

father. She said that he is moving her

uncle and his pregnant girlfriend into

the house. And She has to give up her

bedroom and move in with her older

brother because of this. This is scaring

me to death because her brother has

multiple problems for which he was

removed from public school and is now

being home schooled including manic

depression, suicide threats, cutting,

fighting and the list goes on...His room

is also filled with animal skins and wall

hangings of dead animals that are his

passion but scare her. What can i do to

protect her. Is it right (legal) to place

children so far apart in age and

developement and of opposite sexes in

the same room? This feels like a recipe

for disaster to me...Please help

You can and should petition the court for a change in custody if you are in a position to have your daughter live with you.
