Hey Jez, Sorry you and your wife are being put through the emotional ringer. I don't know a lot about Social Services but I have heard they can get miss guided at times and make life very hard for good parents. I hope you and your wife are supporting each other through this difficult time. Maybe in time your daughter will want to return. The freedom sounds great to her right now but....maybe she will begin to appreciate the wonderful home she had once she leaves. Until then I hope you all can find some peace and focus on your family. Your son and daughter are at the age where you can't always protect them from themselves. Teens are very self destructive sometimes. I wish your family all the best. I hope the worst is behind you and you both can start to heal.

Take Care,
Brandi
