What is your daughter in jail for? Is she getting any treatment there, and how long will they keep her? It sounds like she has some serious problems, and whether in or out of jail I hope that she is receiving treatment. I believe that parents who protect their kids from the consequences of their actions are not doing their kids any favor. If my kid were in jail, and it were because they did something wrong, not because of some error or misunderstanding, I would not try to get them out. Once they are adults you can't protect them anymore, and adulthood hits suddenly, leaving them wondering what happens when all at once the kid gloves come off and they are actually held responsible.

I would insist on a psych eval for the 15 yr old, and go from there. You have to take care of yourself. If you don't feel safe and can't control who is in your home, get yourself out of there.

Hang in there and stay safe!
