[QUOTE="slsh, post: 583953, member: 8"] Jody - you need to be calling 911 [U]every[/U] time she assaults you, immediately. Request an ambulance for a mentally ill child. It's obvious that calling these hotline folks, and the subsequent "contract" they had her sign, is just beyond pointless. in my humble opinion, you need to file a police report now for the assault in the car this morning. If it ever happens again, pull the car over and call 911. You have the absolute right to be safe in your own home, in your car, without the threat of some bologna "abandonment" charge hanging over your head. You are not abandoning her, you are refusing to let your abuser back into your home. But you have *got* to get a consistent paper trail that documents her violence towards you. And, sorry to be cynical, but you have got to make sure not to lay a hand on her. Record incidents if things start getting heated (obviously, without her knowing about the recording, or you may end up with an Academy Award-winning performance on her part). I lived with an incredibly violent child for years, and it frustrated me no *end* that I was supposed to just deal with the bites/bruises/punches/etc. If it had been my husband doing that to me, his posterior would have been locked up in heartbeat - but for some reason our kids can beat the living crud out of us with no consequences. That's why I say call 911 and request an ambulance for an unstable mentally ill kid - you'll get cops and EMTs all at once, and you can let *them* figure out what to do with her. My heart goes out to you. [/QUOTE]
