My [22m] sister [16f] hit our younger sister [10f], then later had a screaming match with mom [47f], who later acted angry/frustrated at me. I don't know what to do.

My middle sister (16, let's call her Jean) is extremely moody and sullen. In general we can get along (coexisting, we're not really friends) but sometimes she is impossible to deal with. She wasn't always like this. It's been getting worst for a while but I can't exactly tell how long.

Younger sister (Mary) went into Jean's room and showed her a drawing. Jean started telling that she didn't care and told her to leave. Mary said something like "jeez, can't you just look at it?" and Jean said "Noooooo" really loud.

I was in the kitchen and went up when I heard them fighting. They went kind of back and forth a few times until Jean pushed Mary into the drawer that was right behind her. Mary started crying and Jean was all "just get out!".

I went in and Mary was on the floor crying. She wasn't hurt but the whole thing scared her a lot. I helped her up and when she left for her room I tried to talk to Jean, she yelled at me to leave her room and pushed me on the chest. The second time she tried to push me I grabbed her forearms and she went even crazier telling me to not touch her and still yelling at me to leave.

I sat her on the bed and she threw a shoe at my leg when I was leaving and later cried.

I talked to Mary and she said that Jean hadn't hit her before but she frequently mistreats her and speaks rudely to her.

When mom came back I talked to her about it and she went up. At first mom asked if what I was saying was true, I didn't catch the next few things they said but then mom yelled "what the fuck is wrong with you!?" and they started yelling at each other for about 3-5 minutes.

Not 5 uninterrupted minutes of full yelling but they were arguing loudly and mom was saying that Jean was becoming insolent all the time, that she couldn't even recognize her sometimes and that she wasn't gonna allow her to bully anyone in the house. After a certain point, Jean just cried and yelled at mom to leave. Like, leaveeeeee until mom left.

I later talked to mom and she was saying that she can't get through Jean anymore. I asked her if she thought there was anything we could do about it, to which she replied "what can we do!" and said that Jean nearly hit her, she has no respect for anyone anymore. I asked her if she thought we could get some outside help and she told me stop, that we were not going to keep talking about it at the moment.

Everything happened around noon on Saturday and today it's kinda been swept under the rug. We are not talking about it, things are going back to "normal". This was by far the most intense fight we have had and it was scary. Jean is certainly not enjoying any of this so I just wonder what the hell is happening, but I doubt trying to talk to her will help.

I don't know what to do. Mary was very scared after the thing with Jean and while mom and Jean were having their screaming match.

I have no idea what to do. Is there something I can do? Mom seems extremely frustrated and out of ideas. Is there something I can do to make things better at home? Where can I start?

tl;dr: Teen sister pushed kid sister. I tried to talk to her but she pushed me, yelled at me and threw a she at me. Later, she had a very loud fight with mom that didn't help anything. Mom told me to stop talking about it and hasn't brought it up again. What should I do in this situation? Is there anything I can do?
