[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 128028, member: 3626"] Welcome, it does sound like you have your hands full. Your daughter needs help. Punishing her for her behavior will do little good at this point. She's crying out for help every way she can. She may fight the help but that doesn't mean part of her doesn't know she needs, much like a child fighting the very medicine needed to save it. I did some looking and found the following places offer sliding scale mental health treatment in the Atlanta area. Hope one of them can help you: Center for Family Outreach Services Northside Mental Health Georgia Parent Support Network Cobb/Douglas Counties Community Service Boards Peachtree Counseling Center New Beginnings Ministries of Lawrenceville Georgia Crises and Access Line for Clayton and Fulton (free if you live in those counties, can give you assistance and help you find programs) If you give up your parental rights to your daughter, she'll probably be removed to a foster home (juvenile hall is highly unlikely), you'll more than likely be charged with child abandonment, you'll be at risk to lose your son. I doubt any of these are the outcomes you want. Her behavior is bad but probably not serious enough to warrant a CHINS petition. Your only true recourse is finding her therapy, hopefully one that will deal with the sexual abuse and abandonment issues she has to be facing because of sperm donor's behavior. I'm sorry there are no easy answers. I hope you get some help. Your little one needs it desparately. [/QUOTE]
