Her parents do not think there is a problem. It is always the other child did something first to cause their daughter to hit them etc..However, they have always had someone else care for her...She is in a school for kids with behavioral problems.

The school does not provide any professional couseling of any kind..The school just does random drug testing and the class rooms are much smaller. So, instead of 1 teacher to 30 kids. There are 1 teacher for every 5 kids..

I was having her to go to couseling program on Fridays with me and my kids at the church that we attend...They have a teen girl cousling program..
The couselor says that my niece just doesn't care about anything..
She has this couselor just has frustrated and confused as I am..I do love her greatly.

My husband won't allow her to spend the night at our house..One of us have to stay up all night when she is over...Thursday after school she took the bus to my daughter's friend house down the street. She told me that her mom and my daughter's friend's mom said she could spend the weekend at the friend's house..Well, Friday night she acted up as usual. My daughter's friend's mom told her she couldn't spend last night at her home. So, my 19 yr. nephew came and got her..I love her..However, I have to respect my husband's wishes..My husband said that with all my health problems and our daughter being so ill that we have enough to deal with...

I am feeling that I am turning my back on her..I am the only one that she will really talk too and share her thoughts with... I just wished I could do something. I feel so very helpless..I am not just afraid for others, but am afraid for this child..I have tooken care of her since she was baby. So, she is like my very own daughter..

This niece was court order into couseling and to follow the doctor's directions..
The couseling didn't last very long..My niece was put on medication. She does a little better on medication. However, her mom has been taking her medication..
Still my brother should step up and be a father to his kid. Which means making sure his daughter is taking her medication and getting couseling..
