[QUOTE="bran155, post: 239490"] SHOOT ME PLEASE!!!!! They released her to me ROR right out of the courtroom!!! I am still shell shocked. She has the same stipulations as before. She has curfew and TASK. She must comply with treatment and medications or she goes back to jail. They said she did not qualify for Youth Court because you must have an open Family Court case and she does but only until she is 18 which she will be in 2 weeks, therefore no Youth Court.

I am not doing a darn thing for this kid unless I start to see some effort out of her. She is already starting her c**p.
