I've been fuming over this for a week but basically my 15yo daughter has been going Off the rails recently since her grandfather who she was very close to died. I've been trying to get her to see a therapist about it but she refuses. So I was tidying her room for her as she was having a particularly sad day, and under he pillow i found a large, half drunk bottle of vodka. This all happened last week when she was at school. I rang her during her lunchtime to give her a chance to explain herself and to tell her to come home straight from school and we needed to have a chat about this. She got very angry with me on the phone and refused to come home that night, she said she wouldn't be getting the bus home and would make sure I wouldn't know where she was. Turns out she was then quite upset and told her head of year teacher about the situation. She also told the teacher that she would be spending the night at a man who is 26 flat who she had spoken to in a cafe last week and he said she could stay whenever she liked. My dd friend heard and got her to sleep at her house instead, but to was apparently very last minute and the teacher was still under the impression she was staying with this male stranger. A week later the mother who's house my dd stayed at rang me to tell me her dd only just told her that my dd was planning on staying with this man who I.didn't even know existed. Of course it is not the teachers fault for my dd deciding to stay there, but aren't they legally bound to tell parents if their child is in a potentially dangerous situation?
