How can you get help for a family member who is addicted to crack?

Question by jenn: How can you get help for a family member who is addicted to crack?
My aunt has never been straight.But she was usually just drunk alot.Then she started taking painpills constantly.This is when she started to try to abandon her children.But now she is on crack cocaine and now my sister has her son and her daughter is living with one of her friends.The son is 13 and the daughter 16.She is out of her mind.No one knows for sure where she’s been living.I believe she goes from place to place with her bf.Her bf is also a crack addict.My family is affraidand won’t do anything about this because they don’t want to see the children put in foster care.I personally don’t like this woman and I don’t care if she gets in trouble.She has another daughter who is 20 but she is on drugs bad too.What could one do to have her put away.Whether it’s jail or rehab.I don’t care but how do you go about reporting someone like this?Who can you report them too?
