[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 765348, member: 22840"] This really does not sound good. I also have heard of parents giving up their children to the state to get the help they need but haven't heard of any outcomes. So I'll tell you what someone else I know did with his son. On safety, lock up anything she can use to harm herself or anyone else, including kitchen knives and any thing she can use to start a fire. If she gets physical, starts swinging her fists or throwing things around, there's this hold you can do where someone with the strength to do it would basically tackle her and hold her down until she quiets down. He said it worked for his son, but then he had the strength to do it. Not something I could do though. What worked the most was this "wrap around" program they finally put the son in, mainly because he became a problem wherever he went, trouble at home, trouble with the school, trouble with neighbors and others in town, juvenal arrests and detention for running rampant also. It seemed he needed to get in enough trouble to qualify for this wrap around program. This boy went to an out of district school paid by the school system, had therapists coming to the house, I think paid for by the county and then finally ended up in a residential treatment center for a couple of years that was also a school, also paid for by the system. What is going on with her with school, does she go? Does she have an IEP? Does she have issues there? Has she had arrests where maybe someone in the court system would be an advocate for her? She should have an IEP and some services, at least on paper, from the school.
