[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 640623, member: 9177"] Thanks for your replies. It wasn't that she was "playing" on the electronic devices that was the problem. We have no problem with her playing games, watching Netflix, etc. difficult child takes it into dangerous territory by accessing social network sites, chat sites, etc. We had a HUGE issue over the summer with her texting a complete stranger who claimed to be Justin Bieber. We don't really know if she really thought it was JB or not, but she found umpteen ways to continue contacting this person (even giving him her address at school), who was extremely vulgar and sexually inappropriate - that's what led to her electronics restrictions. Even after all the talks about internet predators and how to stay safe online, she just either didn't get it, didn't care, or both. Our rules for her using electronics are simple - no social networks, no texting, no emailing, no chatting. EVERY SINGLE TIME she is given even a CHANCE to use electronics appropriately, she blows it, often on the very same day. This time she was caught using Facebook (under a fake name), Kik, and Skype. She has "friended" numerous obviously fake celebrity profiles on FB and attempts to contact these people. She is a danger to herself, and potentially to us, as she has no clue how to conduct herself appropriately in social media. As to the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)/Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE)/drugs... I honestly have no idea. I wouldn't be at ALL surprised, but I have no proof. I know that husband at the time was a heavy drug user in the depths of his own difficult child hell, and he obviously wasn't very choosy about his sexual partners. Biomom is a major piece of work, a full-blown, over the top difficult child. Gotta go, baby wants to nurse... [/QUOTE]
