[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 474231, member: 6705"] Hi there... Welcome. I'm truly sorry you had the need to find us, but I'm glad you did... It's been one of the few things to keep me sane. My stepdaughter is also 16, bipolar, PTSD... She's currently in a foster home, that we found privately since the courts wouldn't help, and we're awaiting info on a behavioral Residential Treatment Center (RTC). She's blown the foster home. She also refuses medications. It depends on where you are, but at age 14 in Ohio, a child can refuse treatment unless they are court-ordered and/or on probation. Has she done anything to be noticed by the juvenile justice system? They [I]might[/I] help. Another possibility - you can call CPS and ask for help. You have other children in the home, and their safety is important too. Since you're new, of course we don't know the whole story. When did her behaviors appear? I see that she's been diagnosed, which is helpful to an extent. Anything specific happen that really stands out? :hugs: We're here for you. [/QUOTE]
