What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I am posting for a friend...I would rather she post but she has no computer. We have been neighbors/friends for 10 years and I do not want to over-step. She is lately asking me for advice on her daughters issues, so I thought I'd come here. I am hoping to be able to give her some level headed legal advice (as well as solid parenting advice) as to how to handle her daughter.
Facts thus far;
child caught shoplifting, that may have been in diff county than here (where child just moved back to. Was put on a diversion program but continues to shoplift.
child is 17
Kid is possibly an alcoholic, and is smoking pot, experimenting with other drugs.
She has failed in school.
She was unsure if she was pregnant a couple of weeks ago. She's not.
A few months back her mom finally called the sheriff on daughter as daughter assaulted her (don't know details, no one was hurt). Mom admits she cannot control her daughter AT ALL and child clearly ignores any boundries.
After the assault thing (she did not end up on probation, don't know why) the child moved to diff county to her dads. However he works, she has run wild down there, he cannot control her.
So now child is back here. The mom says she is hoping when the court case for the DAD calling sheriff on child comes up, she can request probation for child, if not more. She believes at that point when child disobeys her, she can call the sheriff for intervention. (at this point if she calls when child sneaks out at night, they say they can do nothing) Is this true. Child will be 18 in October.
How can mom go about getting some orders in place so that she can get a sheriff to escort daughter to the things she is supposed to do? Like therapy, AA meetings, school, etc.
I feel dumb even posting this, its so sad, and so out of control, and a bit late.
