[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 457037, member: 12721"] Not sure what SRS is. But I assume you could be right. The kids are all in counseling. :) And my Mom is in the process of employing the services of a behavioral specialist counselor/therapist/psychologist. I am not confident that niece's current therapist is effective enough. Perhaps she needs both. One to discuss her problems and vent. The other to modify the bad behavior episodes. She is trying to get it opened again. She needs to block two certain people- these people are adults, not kids. That is the tragic part. Her friends don't even post inappropriate things, on my niece's profile at least. My niece is the one posting inappropriate things about my Mom. And then the adults are posting in response, encouraging the behavior because they also do not like my Mom. Very good point, and is one my husband also brought up. My Mom is their legal guardian and can make all decisions. She can send her here for a vacation, as she just did this summer, however I am not sure she could send her here to live. Even so, I just don't know it is good for her. She's already been removed from her Mother's house two years ago, after enduring much neglect and seeing and experiencing things a kid her age should never see or experience. My niece has been gone all day. She went to the school today to get her schedule. They start tomorrow. And then she went shopping with the "bad seed" friend and the friend's mom. The friend's Mom knew my niece was grounded and not allowed to go. For some reason she still took her. My niece got home while I was on the phone with my Mom, and my Mom did not want to see or talk to her this evening. It was 9pm. She said she will deal with it tomorrow. Her grandfather talked to her when she got home. No idea what was said unfortunately. I will call my Mom again tomorrow to check in. The kids start school tomorrow so maybe that will be a blessing in itself.. except that she is in the same class as the "bad seed". My mom is inclined to go and get her class changed. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Oh, and my niece also has good days.. it's just when the bad days last for a few days or more, it is exhausting and worrisome. And I do think my Mom overreacts sometimes.. truly. [/QUOTE]
