[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 71599, member: 1991"] I don't live in the US, I can't help you much in the way of what is available legally. I like the idea of turning off her phone. In Australia, nobody under 18 can own their own phone, an adult has to be responsible for it. But we do have pre-paid and kids have adult friends... You're in trouble with the discipline. You need something enforceable. You should never impose a punishment, or threaten a punishment, that you can't enforce. Once this happens, she has won and you have lost face and power as a parent. Very bad situation. There are many others here who have been where you are now. They should be checking in soon. help is near. It might be difficult, but you may just have to bite the bullet and try the harder options. Welcome. Sorry you need us, glad you found us. Welcome to the mob! Marg [/QUOTE]
