[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 344349, member: 6705"] Keep calling the police. EVERY time she gets nasty with you. One bad experience - even more than one - isn't the whole picture. Some cops just do NOT get it. Hold out for one that does. Many youth behavioral centers do not require a referral. If you call them and tell them what's up, and you need HELP and ASAP, they will try. It may depend on insurance, but let me tell you - they do care. They will try. Please always try to have someone else there with you. Even your 17-y/o can call 911 if they need to. If you call police, tell them you have a violent and unruly child. It is best if she does not know you are calling. If she does, she will calm and they will see nothing wrong. In most states it is DOMESTIC VIOLENCE if a child hurts a parent; however at age 11, many officers will excuse them. We started having these problems with Onyxx at 11. She has not hurt anyone recently (!) - I think she realized she has crossed the line... But I'm not sure. Throwing a fit to get your way, and hurting someone because you didn't get your way, are two totally different things. If there is a next time - and there probably will be, I am sorry to say - get yourself to a hospital as soon as possible. Spend the time waiting so that you can be checked out. Explain what happened. DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT. Can you set up a webcam? Any kind of video camera? Again, documentation... I am sorry you are having to go through this. I'm sending as many hugs as I can to you... PS - Smallworld is RIGHT, she does need treatment ASAP! [/QUOTE]
