[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 497570, member: 2315"] Hello and welcome. I am sorry you are in this position but glad you have found support here. Your daughter is 15... only three years till she is considered and adult under the law. Even at 15 within some states, she could be charged as an adult. Just because you reported her actions a couple weeks ago and nothing has been done does not mean that nothing will be done. It often takes time before an investigation is launched or CPS takes action. It is my understanding that all reports to CPS of this type of behavior must be investigated, so I would retain that lawyer. It is possible you will need him in the comming weeks. I agree with all that has been said about broken children and love not being enough. I have one adopted child for which this totally applies. I also agree that your daughter is a predator and needs to be supervised 24/7 and kept away from all vulnerable children. Right now people still see her as a child but in 3 short years she will be considered something far worse if her behaviors continue or esculate. I know people who have revoked their adoptions to get the child out of their home and into services. They had to do this both for the safety of others and for the child herself. It might be something your lawyer could investigate and inform you on. None of this is easy, and my heart breaks for you. Try to always remember you went into this with the best of intentions and managed the best you could. Unfortunately some children are too broken to live in family settings. It is not their fault nor that of the famiy in which they were placed. It just is. I know these are hard words to hear. As a parent we feel we need to protect our child. It is a hard transition in our way of thinking to accept that we must protect ourselves and others from our child. [/QUOTE]
