[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 224133, member: 1233"] Jen, how many drugs are you testing for? There are tests that look for just a few drugs, and tests that look for a much larger number of drugs. I think you NEED to have the most comprehensive test you can find run. also, she could be doing things that don't show up on drug tests. Dexing (dextromethorphan - the cough suppressant in any cough medication with DM on it) can give some kind of high if you take a whole LOT of it. And kids think it is "safe" because it is in over-the-counter sales and anyone can buy it. She could also be huffing, or doing any number of things that would be tough to test for This next suggestion may seem counter-intuitive, but I am throwing it out there anyway. My uncle used the beeper, and then the cell phone as an "electronic leash" for his daughter. There were a lot of other problems, but she started staying where she was supposed to be when she had to answer her phone when he called. There were consequences like he went WITH her on her dates and outings if she didn't answer the phone. She had 10 mins to return a call if she couldn't get to it in time. If he didn't believe her when she called back (say she was supposed to be at the library and there was loud music in the background) then my cousin had to find a MANAGER for the business or place she was at (or a parent if she was at a friend's house). It did take a while, and he actually DID follow her when she went on a date with her boyfriend on several occasions. He would sit behind them in movies ( and tell them LOUDLY to keep their hands to themselves), sit near them or even just sit down WITH them at restaurants. and if he had to follow them he INSISTED that she &/or her boyfriend pay for HIS admission/meal/etc... So she was allowed to do things, but she had to be where she was supposed to be or have a "Daddy Chaperone" that she had to PAY for. It really really helped. I don't know if it would work for you and Lauren. But it might. And MeowBunny is totally right - Rin [B]IS[/B] old enough to run, cut (Wiz started cutting/self mutilating at age 6 or 7), and do all sorthsof things. Many hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
