[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644640, member: 1550"] Call CPS and ask them. If it's true, you just need to provide the bare minimum...a place to sleep and nutritious food. You don't need to pay for a cell phone or car insurance/gas or the internet for her or anything that's just for fun, really. You can do this when they are FOURTEEN and it's ok. Most of us give our kids more because we love them, but it isn't legally required. She can see who the boss really is when she has no cell, internet, new clothes, potato chips, Netflix, allowance or transportation. You are also not required to do her laundry (I would think she already does it herself though), clean her probably messy room, buy her special shampoo for HER type of hair (the $1 VO5 is legal or White Rain), or cook for her. As long as the food is available she can cook it herself. You are not obligated to drive her anywhere either, when she doesn't have wheels. Show her how fun it is to be on your own when you have no high school diploma and don't want a job. You can do THAT ;) [/QUOTE]
