She wants to go into care

Help!
My daughters behaviour and attitude has been steadily getting worse over the past year (she's 13)
But lately she's been coming out with a new one, she wants to be taken into care because she hates us.
The latest episode was this morning after having her mobile taken away for being rude to her mum, she then said "well I'm not coming home from school" and "phone social services I hate you"
She apparently has a friend that's either in care or living with an adoptive family and she seems to think it sounds great.
We just feel at our whits end with the daily bombardment usually after she's told no.

Justaperfcetday I am so sorry, I can't imagine what you have been through with DD Sad.

Thanks! I didn't mean to make it about us though, just saying how very difficult it is to get ss involved with a teen. I have another teen though so I do sympathise with the everyday struggles!
