[QUOTE="sammi, post: 707541, member: 21373"] Hi, thank you for taking the time to reply... we have child protective services, social care, family education, run away teenagers and drug and alcohol services all involved with my daughter, unfortunately it has done no good and been no help at all... it seems to me (and I could be wrong) but as we are a close family and as she isn't living in poverty or being beaten daily they don't seem to bother with her much! After the last incident 2 weeks ago I was straight on the phone to them and am still waiting for them to come and see her!

I very much think she needs mentally assessing and have tried to get her to go and see the unit but she refuses to go and apparently I can't make her.
