My DD is nearly 13. She has a friend from school who has been self harming and tonight at 10pm is the second occasion in two months that DD has had texts from friend to say that she has taken too many tablets. Tonight I actually spoke to the friend - mum was in the background and didn't seem bothered. Eventually it was decided that neighbour would take them to hospital.
I'd really like to get DD out of this relationship but she is now frightened that if friend does anything else it will be blamed on her. I feel that DD is being manipulated to stay friends and she agrees with me. I'm also thinking that I should report friend to social services to make sure she's getting all the help she should be - although hopefully the hospital will have done this from her previous visits.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
