Re: what 2 do
If she is boy-crazy and you don't call the p.o., you may well wind up as a grandmother!
This is the perfect scenario for what is labeled as "A Child/Family In Need Of Services." DJJ files these things or the School Board does. When a child is incorrigible or unmanageable or truant, this is the tool that is supposed to be used to fix things. A tool seldom used though.
Time to get a counselor of some sort, school, church or comunity working on it.
