Re: teens out of control
A 16 year old is not of legal age to move out and make her own decisions. If she moves out, she is a runaway and can be arrested and confined in juvenile detentio. Sounds like it is too late for these remedies. She needs some counseling and some reality training, but I suppose she is too smart-ass for that.
