why have children if you are going to kick them out.

I am going through the courts right now to get full rights to a 16 year old girl (my daughters friend)

Her mother threw her out 2 weeks ago and she has been living with me.I have even talked with the mother and she says that she cant deal with her anymore and wants nothing to do with her.

I have no legal rights as of yet so she cant be transferred from her school to my daughters,so she hasnt been in school.
But she is getting therapy because I feel she needs it,no matter what the cost is.

This girl is no trouble at all....she helps around the house,is very polite and is very lovable.

what has this world come to these days....everything seems to be disposible.....if its not working throw it away instead of getting it fixed,if you dont like it throw it out and buy something different,if you dont want to be a parent anymore just kick them out. WTF

Mother may have mental or chemicial unbalance problems you and she may not be aware of. May be the Mom that needs the help, not the kid. Good your putting the girl, see her through this. Be Hell if she was by herself.

Yeah the mother is the one that more than likely needs help. God Bless for like you and others that are willing to take them in and guide and love them....

True the mother probably does need help.
I hope the courts will do something for her,but in the mean time its the child that suffers.

Need both sides of the story.
I have a daughter I don't see. Her choice, because I won't be an open check book. No morals, life style, I WILL NOT allow.
Sometimes kicking the little bird out of the nest, IS the best action.

if the story the mind tells one send a negative impulse thruout the body, then if we keep rolling it around in the mind, and don't stop at a negative conclusion, the whole picture will always bring a smile, as the whole truth is always known by a peaceful wave thruout the body.

I'm with oldsage

While I commend you for taking her in, giving her shelter and seeking professional help, there 'hopefully' is more to the story than her mother just threw her out. But Laura, thank you for doing your share and then some to helping her out!!! kudos

Children usually act different away from their parents...more helpful and easier to handle...your a good person for helping out but maybe there is more going on than the daughter is telling you..not saying that the mother is right for kicking her out but i think this mother needs to handle this girl..its her child
