my daughter is so violent that I need to relenquish custody of her to the state before serious harm comes to me and my other children. Her father and I are not together. He lives in tx. And is in and out {currently in} prison. She has never met him. He has never contacted her and that's prob. A good thing. She is 15 and is constantly in trouble. She displays sociopathic behaviors. She has been in trouble with the law. Numerous school infractions, and sexual acting out. She is highly manipulative and plays the role of the victim all the while she is the abuser. She tends to manipulate her way out of serious trouble but was arrested recently for planning to microwave my cat and blow my other kids and I up in our home. She even stashed items necessary to do so but insists she just had the thought but wasn't really going to do it. She has attempted to poison me several times. We don't allow her to cook, cannot set out drinks down unsupervised... we live totally under her control and are constantly paranoid she is trying to hurt us. I know this sounds crazy, but many agencies have been involved and seem to not want to deal with it. She has called child servcs on me many times and they never find me to be abusive or unfit in any way whatsoever. They find her allegations to be false. She has been hospitalized over 30 times in the last 2 yrs for homicidal/suicidal ideation. She has severe attention seeking behaviors. She is currently under investigation by child svcs for sexually abusing an 11 yr old girl. They are not sure if she will be officially charged with anyting since she is a minor. Please help us. I really hate to give up custody but I do have other kids to protect. One is even special needs. Please tell me what I need to do. I am on disability and am partially able to work but have not been able to because of the many trips we must make to transport her to facilities across the state and even out of state. We have even lost everything of any value that we own due to this so finances are a big deal. I need low cost \free help.
