I guess I should also clarify, I dont like where I'm afraid her momand step dad are leading her. They've taught her lying is a way of life. I have no doubt they will replace the switchblade when she gets back, possibly with he stipulation it is to be hidden from us. Maybe not even stipulated it not be brought here, just hidden. I don't like the kind of things that sets up in the future for a teen, and I'm not sure I want to be a part of it if/when it blows up. Cause you know, she's eventually gonna want to do something she shouldnt or that isn't legal...and what, pray tell, in her training for adulthood, is gonna stop her? And her mom just goes OFF if sh catches Cgfg breaking HEr rules... I dot think it's a good setup for a happy future...but again...I'm stepmom...what do you do?
