[QUOTE="JMom, post: 758111, member: 19892"] Lion, I am sorry that you are dealing with this. It sounds overwhelming. If you are in the US, (Texas specifically) we have a law against blocking a person's movements. Kidnapping is the most severe, but trickles all the way down to "unlawful restraint", which is what you are describing from your daughter. I am not suggesting that you press charges, that is a personal choice, but the fact that you have a younger impressionable child, in the home makes this situation more volatile. I am not sure how to make her accountable other than, as previously suggested, taking everything away and having her earn privileges by demonstrating good behavior. If it were me, I would lean toward having her removed (even if for a short time) to protect the younger child. I don't think anyone is a fan of getting Child Protective Services involved, but perhaps it would protect the younger child, who is learning dangerous behaviors. Another thought-the vape pen might actually be a "dab" pen, which is odorless much like vape juice but it a VERY concentrated tar-ish (oil) marijuana, often sprinkled with other drugs. That form of marijuana is so much stronger than smoking mainstream weed. Your local police department could test it for you very easily. Here in the states, the store DollarTree sells marijuana urine tests for $1. I don't know that would comply with a urine test, but it is an option. Best of luck to you. My heart goes out to you as this is no doubt very hurtful. Hugs, JMOM [/QUOTE]
