[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 368726, member: 6546"] Lost-- First, I am glad that SD has been found, safe and sound! (whew!) Second, you have asked the million-dollar question....what to do? in my humble opinion--you cannot just give up on the rules...because if she knows that running away will get her what she wants, then that's what she'll do every time she doesn't like the rules. What we have done in our household, is to call the police....EVERY SINGLE TIME. And yes, she is grounded until.... Until what? Well, until we feel she can be trusted with a priviledge. So we give her small things and see how she does. Can she walk to the store to buy a newspaper and come straight home? Can she use the computer without being inappropriate? Can she...whatever? You are the parent. It is your house. If she continues to defy your rules, eventually the police reports will catch up with her--one way or another. So sorry you are dealing with this. It definitely stinks. Welcome to the club... [/QUOTE]
