[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 467632, member: 1233"] in my opinion it is time to call children's services and ask what would happen if you turned her over to the state. NOT because you WANT to give up on her, but because it is not SAFE for her to run around the way she is and you can't keep her from contact with her mom because mom won't comply and the probelms are overwhelming and you have 2 other children to raise and keep safe also. Usually asking what they can do to help doesn't get much, but actually letting them know that you are pretty close to letting them have her (foster care for her) will get help because it is very expensive, far more than providing respite, Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers and PCA's (independent living skills and personal care attendants) and keeping her living with you. be SURE that she is not hurting the other kids in any way. Their needs have to be as important as hers and if she is hurting them or violent to you or the home it may be damaging them so that is another thing to let CPS know is a worry and a reason that they need to provide help. I am sorry it is so hard. [/QUOTE]
