If you cannot get your daughter to comply with what the social worker is requesting, that you get her to school, I would  email her so that you have a legal record, again requesting their assistance. Because what the social worker is doing is telling you on the record that you are responsible for your daughter. You are responsible for her safety (and that she is using drugs.) You are responsible for anything that happens to her. You are responsible for anything that happens to anybody else through her misconduct.  That is what the social worker is telling you. Whether or not any parent or any person could control the situation, she is telling you that you must.


The only thing I can see for you to do is to write her back and tell her that this is not a situation that you can control without their assistance. I would in this letter put every single thing you have done and the dates.  I would put in writing all of the other times you have requested their help, the dates and the outcome of your requests. And again, in writing, I would demand their help: up to and including out of home placement.


You might require a family attorney to represent you.  I am sorry this keeps on this way.
