Ok so here goes. For those of you who had read my previous posts about my 15 dd I would appreciate some advice. Just a recap dd has had major issues we have no trust through her choices she has made. As a result she had no phone laptop tablet and no use of internet since January. However she has slowly started to make some improvement and as a result we talking about getting her phone back. However I need to be able to know that the wrong choices are made again and she has no communication with the so called friends that are no good. Every agency is involved with us and dd is aware of my concerns. I'm thinking of putting a tracking app on the phone. I have no idea where to begin with this have you any thoughts on which app I should use etc. Thank you.

I don’t use an app but have dd Instagram on my phone as an account so I can see all message notifications.

My biggest concern is snapchat as this is how they contacted her. She is so easily led it scares the life out of me.

Since January I think she deserves the trust start at an hour a nyt but no Snapchat simple as that get all her account password check everything after she has used it member she is going to be 16 and u can't do that anymore she's entitled to all electronic so put one last shove in push her in right direction never give up on her x

Ok so here we go again. Started her new "behaviour" school today. Mass kick-off. Started the day at 6am by 6.20 on FaceTime to someone spoke to.me like shit again. Claims she can't do classroom again I had no patience atbthis point and went with her to the reception. Rude to new teachers that said hello etc refused to take ear phones out. Didn't want to handover phone. I left and cried out of the gate. She has got her way and been separated and working on her own. Got a phone call from key workers phone and it's her. Playing the situation claiming I'm starting again etc. Out of pure frustration I have blocked her phone from internet at home and still refusing to top up as she has shown such lack of respect since having the phone. 10 days she has had it and it's like she is in a trance when it comes to internet. I'm nor sure what to do next. I'm crying again please someone anyone I can't go back to that dark place again that she put me in. Why won't she learn. She is absolutely vile when she habit and startingvadding people she doesn't know again. Claims she can do what she wants when 16. I'm wishing my life away and wishing we were years in front so I wouldn't have to be around her. I love her dearly but can't stand her half the time. What should I do.
