[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 370204"] You absolutely are not crazy. This sounds very scary. She clearly needs treatment and none of you are safe until she gets it. So there are several options which have been mentioned. 1. Take her yourself to the ER preferrably of a psychiatric hospital. Take her writings. Tell them you are very afraid for all of your safety. 2. If you don't feel comfortable taking her call the police. It is baloney that they cant do anything until something happens...thats a lazy cop talking. Their job is to serve and protect and that is what you need now. Call them and tell they you are very afraid and that you feel that you are all in danger. They can help get her to a psychiatric hospital. In some places there are emergency psychiatric services that will come to the house to evaluate her. With anyone evaluating her be up front and very honest about your fears. 3. Call CPS and tell them you can't take care of her in this situation. Ask for services. If they don't give you options tell them your other child is very much at risk and you are too. This is a serious situation. One thing is that none of these agencies is going to want to have a homicide on their heads.... so make it clear how much you think you and your other child is in danger. That should get you some help. Please keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
