[QUOTE="Shari, post: 105966, member: 1848"] I always check the backpack, but she only goes to school from here once a week. I know the girl wants/needs help, but my hands are tied; her mother has custody and money (if she didn't have the money, we might be able to get custody, but we can't fight at her level) and refuses. (the girl is like her mother, too. Mom has no friends and buys everything in sight, but won't even let her own husband touch "her stuff"). She's dragged the poor girl to 3 general docs and 1 pediatrician developmental specialist because she's not doing well in school, all 4 have told her to get her involved socially, tutoring, and counseling, but she refuses to take her, and yes, Marg, I think mom is afraid she'll be pegged. She blames all of easy child 2's problems on husband leaving, yet its interesting to me that if he caused all the problems, why would she be so hesitant to take her to someone to work them out? I think she knows, but that's irrelevant. I think we're starting to address a problem 3 years after the fact. This is an auto expulsion if she'd have gotten it to school. I do not think she intended to hurt anyone, but I do think she intended to gain some "cool status" with kids. Mom didn't tell us about the knife until we had taken easy child 2 back to her house, even tho mom knew it for a couple days before easy child 2 went back, so I don't know yet what her excuse for having it was. I am sure she will lie about it. I have witnessed her doing something and then asked her about it and she will lie repeatedly to avoid being in trouble. She'll even bring in anyone else to take the rap to keep it off her. I do not like being the go-between for her parents but easy child 2's mom will NOT talk to husband. She immediately starts screaming and he shuts down and doesn't hear anything. And she'll bring easy child 2 into the room to hear it, and uses easy child 2 as a pawn (she threw husband out when they split, then as punishment for not coming back, she kept easy child 2 from him for over nearly a year). If I had my choice, I'd lock them in a room til they could communicate, but not really an option, so I play the middle man to avoid the above happening to easy child 2. If we tick mom off with our actions on our end, mom will avoid telling us this sort of stuff. On the same note, we should have ticked her off 3 years ago when we saw a pattern with her stealing stuff. [/QUOTE]
