I need some advice please,my 13yr dd is out of control,she will not listen to anyone and has no fear of any  kind of authority. She is having sex (with multiple partners), doing drugs and skipping school.We have tried everything to help her,Grandma has custody,real mom lives in the same house and they rarely let us see them despite the court order and they do not do anything to stop her from doing these things at all.We have called cps (what a f****** joke),they don't do anything,she is on probation for getting caught with cigarettes on school grounds,the cops know her in our town and she thinks this is cool.I am at my wits end i love her to death and i don't want anything to happen to her.Being that she is old enough to decide for herself where she wants to live,what can i do to help her when she has her real mom right there next to her passing her the joint?

 OMG, 13 and having sex with multiple partners?!  I can't think of anything other than calling CPS but since that didn't help I'm afraid I don't know what else there is for you to do :(  I'm so sorry...

get tough.  try a scared straight tactic like showing her what taking care of a baby is like bc that is where she is heading having sex.  if that doesnt work, i'd say bootcamp.  good luck.

Don't blame your daughter as such.. Kids at her age have become really bad. She's probably just trying to fit in but you have to teach her to draw the line. I advise you to switch her school (cause at her present school I assume she's hanging with the wrong crowds and has a reputation). Send her to a private school I you can afford it. That should change things

About the only thing you could do is hire a lawyer to fight for custody from grandma, other then that there's not much you can do with out being able to have some sort of control over the situation.

Fight for custody! Get her in your home, change schools and scare her straight.

Ladies thank you for all the advice.it really does help and we are in the process of getting custody. her aunt dies just over a year ago and it was pretty bad,she was very close to her aunt and i thought since she never went though the grieving process at all, no tears nothing,maybe it was from that.i want to help her so badly because i know what is going to happen to her and it is terrifying,she is still very immature for a 13 yr old and nothing we tell her is right and her junky mother tells her that everything we tell her is lies. i will never give up on her everyone in her life has already she may be my step daughter but  in my heart she is my daughter and there is nothing i will not do for her. Thanks ladies.I really do appreciate it.
