Jahve--I get your point. Assuming it's true that her brother is, or was, a drug addict and nearly died (from an overdose), we really cannot go back and assume that the parents were responsible or that they did a poor job bringing the boy up. Peer pressure and influence is far more significant than it used to be a half century ago. Furthermore, we have become urbanized, less personal, and the former institutions such as churches and schools which used to involve themselves by limiting and disciplining child and adolescent behaviour have diminished considerably in importance. This is all by way of stating that we can not automatically make parents responsible for their respective teenage and adult children's bad or self-destructive behaviour.
More to the point, depending on who and what they are and what their expectations for their children were/are, the parents may well be disappointed, very disappointed, even shocked, given that (as you say) one child turned out to be a self-destructive drug user and the other a (high class) prostitute. As I said once before, no parent (it would be extremely rare) ever brings up his/her baby daughter (or son) with dreams of her becoming a prostitute. I know there is a strong element on this forum who view prostitution, at least escorting, as not only respectable but even desirable but I don't buy this politically correct notion. You have been demonized by previous comments, Jahve, due to your unpopular perspective and perhaps the direct and rough manner in which you communicate. Nonetheless, you should be heard as what you have to say has a large element of truth in it as far as I'm concerned. You might try a less confrontational style of communication, however, in order to preserve your audience's attention.
