[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CPS is slammed with work. It’s unlikely they took the case. If you get a poor worker who comes to interview you, go over their head to a supervisor and explain. I would also speak to the therapist privately and explain, and say that you need help managing this child at home. You may need family therapy with someone very experienced. You should definitely leave the room if tempers are getting hot.

If CPS does come, they will likely recommend you take a parenting class, which you might want to do anyway.

Phones are a strong currency. Once things have settled down, I would recommend sitting down with your child when you are both calm and saying that her phone will be taken away for X amount of time for extreme disrespect or throwing things. Make it clear ahead of time. Make the amount of time long enough so there is an impact, but not so that she loses hope. Provide a cheap flip phone in its place.

And obviously, if you can get your ex to meet and agree that you need to present a united front for certain behaviors at both houses, that would help. The impact on your other child should also be considered. I do think you need someone experienced to help with this.

God advice but the issue is the kid is playing off both parents and mom does not own the phone and dad gave it right back.   She should tell dad the phone is for his custody time only and get her a different phone.  [/quote]
