[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 509609, member: 2315"] I am so sorry that you are going though this. I agree your daughter needs help. The best way is for her to do it voluntarily. If you cannot get her to agree to that you can invoke the baker act [U][B]if[/B][/U] she has threated suicide because if she has, she is a danger to herself. That will get her to a hospital where a doctor will evaluate her and decide if she needs further treatment. There is a strict DCMS code that they have to follow to keep her against her will but it might be enough to get her to sign a voluntary treatment agreement. You can also call a suicide hotline in your area for help and/or your local mental health office or crisis center. Another thing you could try is to call her counselor at school and tell her what is going on. She cannot talk to you about your daughter if your daughter has not signed a consent form [U]BUT[/U] she can listen to what you have to say and possible help you get your daughter the help she needs. There will be others along shortly who may have additional information that could help you. For now put all medications in your home under lock and key and do not let her be alone. [/QUOTE]
