[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you did was entirely unnecessary understandable, OP. You have my sympathy.

CPS isn’t going to do a darn thing.

Her father and the therapist acted correctly in this situation.

No, Dad and therapist did not act correctly.  If there is no mark or injury, it's not considered abuse and Dad is manipulating the therapist into custody and hurting this child by focusing on mom's behavior vs. the child's behavior.  They probably distorted the behavior.

The appropriate thing to do was listen to daughter/dad and have a call with mom privately and then do a session with all three of them and work with the parents on co-parenting.

A one time incident happens to all of us.  This is not CPS worthy.  If it was, almost all teens would be in foster care.  They rarely will take a teen except in extreme situations as placements are near impossible.

Dad is a huge problem.

Mom isn't going to be able to parent this child effectively without dad on board.  That's never going to happen.  [/quote]
