You have a near 16 yr old daughter who is doing a lot of things wrong but you know all about it and struggle with her but you get her all the help ex doctors , councilors and school and as hard as you try it all seems to fail . On the other hand you have a nephew who is 2 yrs older who hangs with your daughter who is and has done more **bleep** then her and his mother has absolutely no idea what he is and has been up to . He lied to his mother where he was last weekend and when photos were put on facebook and she seen them he lied straight to her face and told her they were from a few weeks ago , kids do this i know but the problem is he is really peeved off with my daughter and now hates her and is trying to turn their friends against her . His mother has basically wiped my daughter when her own son has done so much worse that she doesnt know about . She doesnt work and believes everything her son says and he in every adults eyes around is a golden head boy he is very good at this where as my daughter isnt and i know what she is doing . How would you deal with this .
As hard as its going to be I now think i have to let her fall to help her . She wants to learn by her own mistakes but as I said to her what your doing is not mistakes because you know its not right .
Kilroy is right some kids just have to learn the hard way BUT make sure she knows the door is always open, you will always be there for her, she must also know that there are some things a parent can't rescue their kids from the law is one such thing! I had to go to court with mine till he was 18 thankfully that's all behind us now he's 23.
No you are wrong , his mother has not and was not informed . He is now worried how he is going to pay the $200 fine he got , $120 for a wheel , $80 for a helmet and 12 months good behaviour . So dont tell me im not telling the truth .

Quite correct, at 17 they can even be directed to an adult court if a magistrate deems it warranted. All he would have done was said he was not living at home.
It's cool, sometime a scare from a good judge is what they need! unfortunatly the only thing that sorted my son out was the death of a close friend who was on the same path he was!
