[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 507430, member: 6546"] Stressed-- I don't know the layout of your town - is your local police station neraby? I would advise you actually stopping in and asking to sit down and speak with a juvenile officer for a few minutes. Tell them about the situation....let them know you don't want to be dialing 911 every morning, but you DO need to get this child into school - or at least document the school refusal (which is a "status offense" which can be used in court later on to get addtional services for her). Chances are, if you go in very calmly and reasonably as a parent looking for help - you will get some good advice. Then (depending upon what they told you), you let difficult child know that every morning she refuses to go to school - you WILL be filing a police report because that is the law. If she does not go to school on Tuesday (or whenever)...take a trip down to the police station and ask to file a report. They may take the report - or they may accompany you back to your house to take difficult child to school....but either way, it is a win-win for you. And if she does get violent - please call 911 no matter what. Anything less than violence, try and remain calm. Try not to engage in any drama... (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
