[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 164276, member: 1436"] What you can do is the following: Depending on what state you are in you can force her into treatment. 1. In my state this starts with a visit to probate court. You fill out the paperwork and then see the judge. You tell the court that she is a danger to herself---or others. 2. You take the order to your local law enforcement. They pick her up, take her to the hospital, and hold her for 72 hours. 3. You hope that someone there agrees with you and places her in a 7 day evaluation program. 4. You beg the doctors. there for long term treatment. Sometimes you have to wait for them to committ a crime and get into the court system to get them help. It is not easy to watch our children self-destruct. I am sorry for your pain. I know that it hurts. Please understand that different states work in different ways. In some states a child can leave at 17 legally. In other states its 18. [/QUOTE]
