Contact Child Protective Services, or any number of private child placement agencies. There are many good agencies out there. You will have to fill out an application, and attend some classes, and go through a home study and criminal background check.

When your child becomes a danger to herself and others, contact CPS. My boyfriend's daughter bullied and assaulted the grandmother that was her legal guardian. She snuck out of the house to do God knows what - and no one can stay awake all the time to make sure that she doesn't leave. A parent/guardian also can't make the home into a jail to prevent their children from taking off - CPS would consider that child abuse. This girl constantly abused her father, and hated me when I came into the picture. She attempted to kill me while screaming that was exactly what she was going to do. If her father hadn't intervened she would have choked me to death - These is what she told the Sheriff after the incident. I realize that she was a minor, but for some reason she never arrested. There were several other violations of the law. Her grandmother contacted CPS and they evaluated the situation. However, I do believe that they only finally did something because her grandmother is considered elderly, and they wanted to stop the elderly abuse.
