[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 213624, member: 1233"] Bran, ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) What an impossible situation. Will social services act if your daughter is threatening your other child? I am suggesting it as a way to get them to provide some sort of housing for her, under this new program or not. When we were going through court with Wiz it was a Catch 22. As long as I was pushing to get him placed somewhere, and he wasn't living in our home, CPS (or whatever they are called) said that my other 2 kids were being cared for properly. IF we took Wiz back home, for ANY reason, CPS was prepared to take the OTHER 2 KIDS because then they would say I wasn't protecting them from him. The court wouldn't place Wiz because he was kicked out of the Youth shelter. We literally were waiting hour by hour to see where he would be living. After about 2 weeks of this, my Dad decided to keep him. I know that you don't have the family option I was blessed to ahve. Can you somehow have an attorney for you and your young son argue with CPS that having her home isn't safe, you can't afford placement, and then turn her over to them? I am just struggling with the system's idea that you should have to take MORE of her abuse. It just isn't fair to you. You have already gone through so much. I hate to hope a child will run away, but it seems that might be easier somehow for your young son. I worry about ehr effect on him, and on you! I know it is HE77 on your marriage. Whatever can be worked out, I totally support you. Have you contacted any area churches about placements they may have or know of? I called EVERY church in our town, and many in towns up to 3 hours away when searching for a place for my son. I know I cried on a lot of pastor's and priests' shoulders. I would call, say "hello. I need your help. I have this situation (give a brief description of my son and the situation, danger to other kids and myself)" and then ask if they had any programs or knew of any programs to help families like ours. It was really hard to tell so many people our business, but I didn't have much to lose at that point. I did have some pastors who said they didn't know of anything, some who suggested other area groups, some who had solid leads. I just thought I would suggest it as maybe a new avenue to try. Again, I will 110% support whatever you can come up with. I know how hard it is, and how hard you are working for your family. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
