My heart goes out to you guys. I have a 14 year old daughter that I feel is a all the time job just trying to stay ahead of her. Her dr gave her the new drug Vyvanse to help with her impulses but she developed a tic from it...so back on Concerta. The sad thing about this is...when she turns 18 it's really goning to be hard to manage her. These kids turn 18 and they call the medication shots and therapy shots.

Can she be placed in the hosp for a few days for observation? We have a hosp here that will take them for a period of time to get them back on track with meds, therapy, and family therapy. My daughter has Medicaid so they will only keep her for 7 days. I have never put her in the hosp but I see that day coming, as she is becoming more defiant.

I volunteer alot at the school to watch her and stay up on what she is doing. Your aunt may not be able to do this. My dghtr is in dance, and when she is leaving for school we do a dance bag check, to make sure nothing from the house is leaving here. I keep my purse locked in the car in the garage and the door to the garage locked and the key in my room...under my pillow. I tell my mom friends..."Sometimes you have to think a half step crazier then they do, andget ahead of the game."
