[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 548706"] First of all, to protect the rest of your family, you can't let her return to your home. It would be disastrous to the other children to have her throw these accusations out and have the other children removed from your home. That is not fair to them to basically be at your mercy. No one can force her into therapy or to take medications. That is the sad truth to the system. I know you've had bad experiences with CPS but I would advise your wife or her father to contact a Mental Health worker through your local government agency for help and guidance. How long before she turns 18? Who has legal custody of her right now? That is the person that should contact them. However, even they aren't able to force anything unless she is a physical danger to herself or someone else or has broken the law in some way and been reported, gone to court, and had it court ordered. That is the harsh reality. Unless she is a danger, no one can do anything unless she consents. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Others will be along probably tomorrow to offer their suggestions. I am even more sorry you are all in this predicament. [/QUOTE]
