You are a relative, and that makes you "closer" than the "friend" of your sister. But you still need the court to step in and make an order - unless you can get your sister to "sign something" and let you pick up the slack. Consult a professional. Advice is free or cheap, at least upon an initial consultation. And the stakes are high.

You will need a good lawyer for this and you will have to prove he's an unfit guardian or father. The courts favor leaving the child with their biological parents(s) if possible.

If there are no other family members, and you are no longer able to care for this nephew, the only remaining alternative is for him to become a ward of the state. Contact the child welfare agency in your state.
That depends on the Judge, the law of the state where they are, and the specific of the custody request.
