JJJ: Running away is a danger to herself and if you are not able to control her for her own safty village life for teen girls has been about the same for a very long time.
I think you could pursue the intensive home therapy if you do take the intiative and also call around in the circle you know from her friends. If she is being pursued by and adult you can nip that in the bud. And if she is being taken in by parents who you do not know you can stop that too.
Or if as in our teen group they lot just learned how to pull this manuver you might determine who she is seeing and talk to their parents. That is what I did. The parents of the girl who had the car and was initiating the excusions had already got wind of the tactic. Now our teens do see each other at her house with her parents supervising, respecting curfew and no more 'run away' issue.
The DOE and DOH are both able to do those services and the case has to be presented to get the involvement. The fact that she is a minor and she is not behaving safely are facts.
Hope that you are getting through this and get a possitive relationship on track for the long run.

I am so sorry that her father is not respecting the care she has been given and the
family of these kids feel that from a distance armed with their thinking process based on whatever are intruding in such a disruptive manner.
I have the folks in the family that interject thier 'beliefs' without bothering to attend to the meetings, read the evaluations and consult with specialists or even do reasearch to learn about the diagnosis. Oh, or even learn if their opinion is interesting to me, custodial parent. I do not think that "parental rights" are a
casual type thing...if the father is not informed and acting to disrupt her treatment plan, schooling, stability in a home she resides that the role he is adopting is not
a form of parental involvement...it is in conflict with parental authority.
In fact failing to plan for her needs by disturbing her treatment plan, education,
stability in her home are detrimental...all that drama without any purpose? Come on that is horrible.

My daughter ran away five times in one month at the beginning of summer. That is a special kind of hell. We got her back all five times. I know how hard it is and how it can throw the whole balance of parent/child interactions totally out of whack. Nothing disarms a parent like your child running away every time you turn your back. My prayers are with you.
