I dated a divorced woman with an 'incorrigible' daughter (an overdeveloped 14 year old that was into leather Boostiers [ala Madonna], Rave parties, Gothic rock bands, and swearing like a truck driver [no offence meant to truck drivers]). The woman finally took some 'action' over the lil' darlings behavior by grounding her and the daughter had her mom arrested for CHILD ABUSE and lied about being beaten.
Remember: Hillary and others have come out in favor of 'Children's Rights' as opposed to 'Parental Rights' wherein there is an assumption of guilt of the adult. It takes a village, ie. society has an interest in the manner in which the child is reared and supercedes the wishes of the parent.
This mom may have been at her wits end.
{{There were also veiled threats made to yours truly by the lil' dear. I bailed out of the relationship rather than tempt the retribution of an out-of-control little girl.}}
"I bailed out of the relationship...."Smart move.I've been in that situation as well.
