Brother throws away sick daughter’s medicine, now banned from seeing her

In this thread , mother posted on Reddit about how her brother, who was once the court-appointed guardian of her daughter, Emma, after she her daughter was taken away due to alcoholism, threw away half of her daughter’s medication while she was sick with the stomach flu. Her brother and his wife have called CPS on her multiple times and made it clear they don’t trust her to take care of her daughter.

Despite this, the mother still tries to allow her daughter to see her aunt and uncle a few times a month. However, after this incident, the mother has banned her brother and SIL from seeing her daughter unsupervised.

The mother’s family is now giving her a hard time for not allowing her brother and SIL to see Emma, but the mother is standing her ground. Do you think the mother is in the right for not allowing her daughter to see her brother and SIL?
