That's quite sad. I think she's jealous of her younger sis because her sibling have a complete family picture with a real biological dad, which she doesn't have. She is trying to get attention because of her jealousy, you can try to talk to her in a friendly way and see what the problem is. Don't nag for this won't help, I know at first she'll be reluctant and won't try to let you in so just try to gain her trust then you can talk it out nicely. Explain to her the situation and let her feel that your love for her and the young one is the same. If you are also seeking for a professional help, enrolling her to a military school for boys and girls will be a great help for her. She'll have counseling and and she can continue her education also, plus she'll gain self respect and self discipline here.
I suggest that you should ask for help in your town that offers free treatment for your daughter. I think she has a problem with her brain. She can't think or feel the goodness for herself and for the family. I heard also that kind of situation and some they send their teens to boot camp for bad kids. There, she can have a good treatment like what other have there. So, just try to send her there.
