I have a friend in Missouri who has a 13 year old daughter that sounds to be getting out of control. I only know a little of the situation, but if the mother grounds the daughter, the daughter hits her mother. If the mother tries to swat her on the butt, the daughter screams at her mother that she doesn't have the right to touch her and she (daughter) is the boss!
I live in Idaho and told her that the police here told me to take everything away from my daughter except her bed, the clothes on her back (she has to wash them every day) and I have to make sure she's fed and goes to the hospital if needed, but other than that, to let her have NOTHING! - We had SERIOUS behavioral issues with her about a year ago, sneaking boys into her room, threatening to run away, etc.
The mom doesn't know exactly what her legal rights are as the parent in disciplining the child, and I know every state isn't the same. What should/CAN she do?
