Get a lawyer. No one can drag you through three years of law school and the bar exam and explain local rules in an email reply.

Sounds like you have a mess on your hands. If you are not careful, CPS is going to take your child into custody. Sell something, borrow some money, do what it takes to get professional help.

If you had a serious medical condition, you wouldn't be asking for a how to book and a scalpel, you'd be finding a doctor.

Same here. The difference is this is your daughter's future.
