My siblings are getting too close and I don't know what to do

I (18) have 2 half siblings (F10 and M7) and they are getting way too close for my liking. At first I thought I was being paranoid but recently alarm bells have been going off in my head but I have no clue what to do.

My dad and stepmum are divorced and the kids live with their mum most of the time but occasonally I babysit them at my dads for the day. They're always playing together in seperate rooms to me but sometimes they get extremely giggly and start whispering so I go check on them and they're in eachothers personal space and messing around too much. Most of the time it's my brother instigating this and he often follows my sister into the bathroom or calls her into an empty room. Even in public they're hugging eachother too close for it to be 'cute'. I haven't seen anything exactly explicit yet but I'm worried I've just missed things.

In the past they've done some stuff which I haven't liked, for example using a toy camera to take pictures of eachothers bums. This never really got addressed. My brother often starts talking about boobs to be cheeky, and apparently he asked my stepmum for 'milk' and to 'play with them'. That was the last straw for me which is why I'm making this post. My stepmum is the kind of person to just say 'oh stop being silly' and laugh it off as 'boys being boys' but I'm getting really uncomfortable. My dad has noticed all this too and has tried talking to them but they're at their mums most of the time so it doesn't make much difference.

I was raised by a much stricter mother than my siblings so I naturally tend to get stern with them if I see them getting too 'silly' as we call it and get out of eachothers personal space but it seems that I'm basically the only person in the family doing it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if my stepmum has been watching inappropriate stuff and they've seen it or something, along with the fact that both kids often sleep in the same bed with her. The way my brother especially is acting I'm terrified he's going to be weird around other kids and become some kind of pervert when he's older.

Basically, I need to know how to stop this behaviour before it's too late. I feel like raising my voice won't help but I don't know how else to get them to understand that what they're doing is wrong (predominantly my brother).

Whammy bar not working in GH3 battles (Wii)

I've never had whammy bar issues when playing songs but it never seems to register properly when I get whammy attacked during a battle. I'll keep pressing it like crazy but it just doesn't work at all. I've noticed that when calibrating the whammy in options the little animation to show that it's pressed all the way down only goes halfway (the guy is supposed to turn into a skeleton but it gets stuck halfway between the frames). I'm assuming that when I play songs I'm not using the entire whammy capability and something is wrong so that I can't press it down far enough. Is there any obvious solution or is this a deeper hardware issue?

Sorry if this is hard to understand I'm just as confused. Thanks

My first ever design

Used Blender 2.9, JWildfire and Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 Laptop. I'd love some constructive criticism or advice as I'm completely new to digital art and rendering and all that.
