My question involves juvenile law in the State of: California
Hi, sadly I have a 16 year old daughter (sophomore) who started dating her boyfriend in the beginning of the new school year 2015. I did not know they were dating because my daughter had asked to spend time with him and I knew he'd been in trouble with the law and a delinquent since middle school (he is 16 as well) and I said no she could not spend time with him. She didn't listen and would spend time with him at school. I took away her cell phone in November because of cutting classes and promised to return it when she went to classes on time. She ran away with the boy, along with another friend, and stayed in an abandoned home for 2 days before we found them. In an attempt to promote goodwill, we sat down with the boys family to outline a plan that would allow them to see each other with parental supervision. 4 months later my daughter no longer has friends, she's doing drugs, she's failing all of her classes and is now being monitored by the police for truancy. She refuses to go to school, she leaves the house without permission and returns when she pleases.
I tried reasoning with her and she says she hates me and I annoy her. Her refusal to adhere to any rules resulted in me removing all remaining electronics in her room and changing the wifi password so she cannot access the internet via any device she may have that I don't know about. Also, in order to protect myself, I file a report with the school resource officer to document I am attempting to get my minor child to adhere to going to school. I told my daughter each time she was truant I would file another report and eventually they would, according to the police, assign a parole officer to her. I explained this to her in hopes of instilling some healthy fear in her since trying to work with her and the boyfriend went nowhere.
As of tonight, my daughter has again left the house without permission and I received a scathing email from the boyfriend taunting me about what a terrible parent I am for filing a police report against my daughter. He warned me that this was going to "F" things up for me and I needed to think on what I was doing. His parents allow him to do as he pleases and sadly he knows the law as well as the police do and he uses being a minor to his full advantage.
I'm fearful for not only my daughter, but my entire family. I have no idea what to do at this point. I have considered trying a restraining order to keep him away from us and my daughter but frankly I'm afraid of what he would do. Any help, advice or parents with experience please let me know. I'm completely at a loss here.
I'd like to lock her up in rehab but California requires a minor to agree to rehab and that will never happen. Thinking the only answer is to move out in the middle of the night and get out of this state.
