[QUOTE="klmno, post: 244309, member: 3699"] My thoughts- which are worth what you're paying for them-LOL! This almost sounds hopeless since she has so many things going against her right now- 1) Can she take her daughter and move out of the area to get away from these people and get help somewhere else? 2) If she can find someone who does not have drug problems, a history with CPS, etc., to take care of her daughter while she goes inpatient somewhere for treatment, I would think that DSS would be staisfied with that arrangement and the friend would be more apt to stay in treatment if she knew that her daughter was taken care of by someone she knew. 3) Detach- if she isn't willing to help herself, there is nothing you can do. You could be a character witness if/when she's taken to court over her child custody/parental rights and tell them that she was doing ok before the boyfriend came home, but there might not be anything else you can do [/QUOTE]
