[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 569688, member: 1514"] I agree with most everyone here. First call your school board and ask who is available as truant officers for your school district because you have a child in X grade who is completely refusing to go to school Y number of days. Ask for a number you can call at the drop of a hat to get someone out there. If they suggest just calling the police, thank them politely and ask them to please put that in writing and email it to you so you can have a copy of that for your records. Or if they wont do that, you email them and copy your understanding of what they said in the email and say you just want to make sure you understand what they said and if anything in this email is wrong for them to please reply back. I doubt the will. Then look up the non-emergency number for the police dept and explain what is going on. Tell them you have a mentally ill teen who is refusing to go to school and you need their help getting her there. Tell them she is hitting you and pushing you. She is too big for you to just put in the car and drag to school. Ask them if they can come out and help you. If so, program their number into your cell phone as a number you only have to press one number. As far as dad, I would just send him a text after all this was over. He is too far away to do much. If you really cant get her to school with the help of all the cops and such then I would consider sending her to him. I wouldnt worry about child support because you can get help with that. Either through day care assistance or maybe a scholarship. You will also possibly now qualify for food stamps or some other programs to help out. If worse comes to worse, he may be able to go to a day care program that is less expensive like the Boys and Girls club or maybe the Y. The Y normally has scholarships and no one knows. But I would ask his current day care first. You might also be able to move into a smaller apt which would be cheaper in the same complex which wouldnt mean you break your lease. [/QUOTE]
