If the parents have legally given up the child, the death of both parents, both parents are in prison, both parents have psychiatric problems and aren't able to raise a child, and much more reasons; the older sibling can become the legal guardian, but of course you must be 18 years or older, have the correct income for you and guarding sibling to maintain school, food, shelter, etc. and you must be seen by judge in court to approve of the guardianship.
