[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 469496, member: 6705"] OK... Let me tell you what we did. Every time Onyxx got violent - we called the cops (many, many times). When she stole drugs - we called the cops. When she attacked a teacher - the school called the cops (this happened more than once). When she ran away - we called the cops. When the cops caught her in a vacant, locked house, stoned, with a male friend? They called us. And filed charges. She inevitably gets a slap on the hand. Probation. House arrest was a joke - it was horrible for the rest of the family. But... When she ran? We refused to let her come back. That was awful, but it has been the best thing we ever did. She went to a teen shelter, then to foster care. It's expensive... But she knows she has nowhere else to go. And my stress levels have dropped immensely. I love her, but I refuse to be a victim in my own home. How long till he is 18? [/QUOTE]
