[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 651477, member: 1233"] The consent laws in your state don't really leave you room to charge the boys, per [URL]http://www.age-of-consent.info/states/Colorado[/URL] I would have a fit about strangers in my home. You cannot really stop someone from having sex esp a teen. Hundreds of years of parents have tried and failed. Long acting birth control, meaning an IUD or the shot, are pretty much your options. Get her to an OBGYN, get her examined and tested and on birth control ASAP. The exam is not a punishment, it is a consequence, although many girls may think it is a punishment. If I were you, I would tell the doctor that he/she has your permission to examine your daughter if your daughter comes in on her own. My daughter's doctor has had that okay for years because if my daughter has a problem and doesn't think she can talk to me, I want her to get medical help anyway if needed. Then keep calling the cops incl truancy officers if she is skipping school. I would take away the things she likes and make her earn them back. Read "Parenting your teen with Love & Logic", available online and in bookstores. in my opinion it is the BEST for helping to sanely parent teens. Follow the strategies, explore their website ([URL="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]www.loveandlogic.com[/URL]), and hopefully it will help. Also be aware you do not have to provide clothes she likes, just clothes. Thrift shop will do, an you can lock up her favorite clothes until she complies. Take her fun things, her electronics, and her other stuff. Then let her earn them back with good behavior. I would insist on no strangers in your home if you are not there as a SAFETY rule. Let her know that if your stuff disappears, she is held liable if she lets people in. This means she has to pay if they steal your stuff because you did not say they could be there. If you take any medications, keep them locked up. Also keep your purse and financial info locked up away from her. [/QUOTE]
