[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 223868, member: 3626"] The one thing I would suggest is that you give her an ending date for the babysitter, no being alone with boyfriend, etc. Otherwise, she's just going to up the ante and run. Sadly, she's a teen and they do think they are "almost" adults and can are old enough and smart enough to do what they want. The other reason to have an ending date is she needs to have a way to regain your trust and that can't happen if she is never given a chance. If this were my daughter, I would have the babysitter and no alone time for two months. A complete grounding except to go to school for one month. The volunteer work for at least three months. You might also want to consider a homeless shelter so she can see where her life will end up if she continues on this path; otherwise, working with the elderly is awesome. Obviously, if she sneaks out while grounded, finds a way to be alone with him, etc., the times are upped. But she is a easy child. The odds are she will accept this if she knows it is not permanent. For group therapy, check with her school. Many schools have them for kids and, given the circumstances, she might qualify to go there. If not, check with CPS. They might know who has them. I found one for my daughter through a parenting class my therapist was running. He asked some of the parents there and found one for her. [/QUOTE]
