What a tragic situation. I'm glad other posters were able to offer concrete help.
Good luck. Your brother is lucky to have you in his life.

We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Hey Brian,
I'm just checking in to offer my emotional support and prayers, as I know what you and your brother are going through. My mom wasn't that bad, but it was still hellish.
You've gotten some excellent advice here, I hope that the resources given you will pan out for both you and your brother. And I hope and pray that nothing else happens.

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances. -Ghandi

Update as of 25 minutes ago:
I've spent all day filling out papers, forms and sitting in courts. I was sent to the 4th district court in Provo and went through the entire process only to find out that I would have to go the juvenile court in Springville.
Head down there (I'm now late for work by 20 minutes) spend an hour filling out paperwork and forms. . . and then I sit on my ass until about 30 minutes ago when I was called in and informed that I was given temporary custody of Ben.
I'm at work now, and it isn't official until the police server my mother with the papers. . . but I'm headed to Grantsville tomorrow at 7 am to meet with the Police and have them escort Ben and I off her property with all of his belongings.
Someone from the old ward is a family lawyer and she was personally involved with my brother back when this stuff was all happening. . . and she has offered us her complete assistance for no charge.
So, I've got a lawyer, I've got temporary custody, I've got CPS and DCFS gathering evidence and I've got a court date for January 2.
Anyways, I'm at work and I've got some customers to call back. . . so I'll be back later.

Bryan:
I can't talk to him about it because she has brainwashed him into believing that she has changed her life around.
Jersey Girl:
Let a psychiatrist make that detemination. It looks to me that according to your above comments, you made all the right moves to secure your brother's safety. I know that the wheels turn slowly but you did yourself proud today!
