I am really confused. My 15 year old daughter was causing alot of problems in my household, because she didn't like the rules we gave her. I did everything I could to try to remedy this problem, but just wasn't able to stop her violence to me whenever I told her to do something. I asked for family counseling and did start receiving services for all of us. One day my daughter became very violent when told to wash dishes. I contacted counselor and was told to press charges so she could learn that there was consequences to her actions. I took their advise and pressed charges. I was told that they would place her in detention for 3 to 5 days, but this was not the case. The judge was about to order her placed in detention for a month. I had to get an attorney to represent her and behind my back he called her grandmother and asked if she could keep her for a month until her court date. That day my daughter was taken from me and I was ordered to have no contact at all. Then my mother talked to lawyer and when the court day came around she was granted another 3 months custody without any contact form me.. I have never been away from my daughter for longer than a couple of days and this is killing me. My daughter is happy with her grandmother, because she doesn't have to follow any rules and gets anything she wants. I can't understand how they can take her away when i haven't been proved unfit. What should I do. I really miss my daughter and want her back.
