[QUOTE="Bean, post: 379191, member: 8620"] Welcome. I understand. Completely. I wanted my daughter in tx SO badly from the time she was about your kid's age until... wait. She's 19 and I'd [I]still[/I] love to see her in treatment. Or the Army. :) Unfortunately, unless your kid gets somehow caught up in the system, there's not much hope of such thing. I made so many calls when my daughter was young, and never got anywhere at all. They said she needs an IEP [I]and[/I] she needs to have gotten in trouble for something. Nevermind that she was using drugs, skipping school (truant) and engaging in extremely risky behaviors. At 17 we called the police when she hit her dad. They waive 17-year-olds to adult court. Not good. So my advice - if she EVER lays a hand on you guys, steals from you, comes home drunk/high - call the police and have her charged. Get your kid involved in the JUVENILE system. Don't wait until they're older. Hindsight, I would have called way back when she wailed on me or dad as a kid, instead of waiting until she was 17. Courts don't know how to deal with kids waived as adults here. [/QUOTE]
