I live in an apartment, & I have a neighbor who has a 7-yo (or so) daughter that I think has a mental problem?

You should first try to talk to the parents.  If they give you an attitude themselves, then talk to the apartment manager.\nLast resort, the police.\n\nWhen talking to the parents, just let them know that there is a problem.  Don't be threatening.

First of all, if your house and family are that bad, then she shouldn't come over any more.  Seems like to me she's being a BRAT, and using you and your family.  You should stop hanging with her and enjoy your family.  They can't be replaced, you can get a new friend.

Maybe the Ipod is so you don't have to listen to them?  So you can turn up the volume and pretend as if it isn't going on?  Save your money on the Ipod and let the police handle it and if the building you live in has such a disregard for the safety of its tenants, I would let the appropriate legal organizations in your city handle the situation from there.  Obviously this woman has no respect for herself let alone others.

You are really having a rough time.  If your daughter is under18, don't you have a right by the law to access her records?  It might affect the therapeutic relationship with her psychiatrist.  But I must tell you that psychiatrist are not trained to counsel in the way that your daughter needs.  She is in need of a therapist that works with the psychiatrist. Even the releases of information that need to be signed must be signed by you because you are her guardian up until she is 18 years old.   If she is the one signing all of the forms then she needs to be the one paying all of the bills in regard to her treatment.  Maybe if you stated to the psychiatrist that you are not going to be responsible for her treatment if you cannot meet with him and discuss your daughter.  A competent psychiatrist and a conscientious one would want to get your take on what you were seeing.  he would not just prescribe medication.  Maybe you should seek out another psychiatrist.  Is there a community mental health agency in your area?.  They usually have counselors, psychiatrists, and case managers that work as a team.\n\nI have included some links for some of the laws from most of the states starting with Ohio and an explanation of HIPPA\n\nGood luck

Did your daughter make the accusation before or after your husband stating he did not want her living in the house anymore?\nIf she said it after he made known his wishes that she move out, it could be a malicious lie on her part to stir up bad feelings and mistrust between you & him.\nThere's a well-known case about a California bus driver who was accused of molestation by two girls on his bus. It turned out they started the lie to get him in trouble because he told them both to be quiet on the bus in front of everyone.\nIf the accusation came before him wanting her to move out, talk seriously with your daughter alone, and take notes on the details. Then, talk to your husband separately and compare stories.  Then talk with your daughter again to look for inconsistencies.

Confront her and tell her she is bordering mental abuse and if it doesn't stop she is no longer welcome to come to the house with him. Suggest counseling for her. She is definitely lashing out at him for her short comings and that can be worked out.

Your daughter is awfully young, but she is showing symptoms of schizophrenia....She tells you someone is trying to kill her, this is classic paranoid behavior many schizophrenics display.....She may be hearing voices and responding to them, when you say you hear her talking to herself.....Please get her evaluated by a psychiatrist.....SOON....This is a VERY serious illness and she needs help.....The sooner you catch the illness, the better it will be to manage....Best of luck...

this is a sad situation,,, whats so bad is the involvement of your daughter,,, how can you allow her to be around it??? you have a choice, your daughter don't! get her out of the house and away from your mother, this is something she will remember for the rest of her life, and i know the consequences later in life... my father was a Alcoholic and as a child felt helpless as I'm sure your daughter does ,even at the age of 3 she will become affected by your moms behavior,, the drama here isn't your moms drinking but your daughters safety>>> please find a new home ,,, you've done all you can to help your mom, now help your daughter

Unless there are children involved get a RESTRAINING ORDER!!! If children are involved than set limits and use a court appointed mediator if you have to..

You know, I'm a firm believer that it takes a village to raise a child. If she's in your home, she MUST abide by YOUR RULES. My whole family understands that about me because I don't waiver from the rules in my house. If her mom doesn't like it, oh well. It's not unreasonable to ask a child to behave while in your home. Best of luck!\n\nMandy

Seems like the daughter learned her bad-behavior at home.  Of course, you already knew this - they are your neighbors.\n\nYour original mistake, as you know, was accepting the invitation to the Big Event from your neighbor.  Failing that, your next mistake was having a party in view of your neighbor, without reciprocating.  This was correctly viewed as a slight.\n\nYour neighbor erred by a) crashing your party and b) involving your daughter.  She should have taken it up with you after the party was over.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. I was in a similar situation 7 years ago but her father was actually convicted of molesting a young girl in town and he was sent to jail so i have sole custody of her. But I do know from working with troubled kids that there are supervised visits you can ask for where the visits are in a safe location with a member of social services or another agency like that present during the visit. It may be an option for you to look into and i hope everything works out.

She will have to prove to the courts that she and the daughter would be better off moving. Most courts won't look kindly upon her picking up and moving without a guaranteed job wherever she is moving to. Tell her to get her ducks in a row, then issue a written 30 day's notice to the father outlining the wheres and whys of the move. If he fights it, she'll at the very least be equipped with a good arguement.

Wow, you've got to get the heck out of that house. Is she your legal guardian or something? Call DHS and tell them what is going on. If you're an adult, then find a friend or other relative you can stay with for a while. \n  If you cannot leave, and I do understand how it's hard to fully grasp someone else's situation... then ask a neighbor if you can use their address for job applications. Just tell them your sister isn't right in the head and you have to get a job to support everyone. Then do NOT put your number on job applications. Maybe the same neighbor will allow you to use their land phone number and they can pass the message on to you and you can call them back when your sister is sleeping. Either way, you sis needs some serious help. Call mental health facilities and see what can be done.\n  Best of luck to you.. and stay away from pork and eat lots of fresh garlic until you can get back on your meds.

her mom has every right to be upset and protective.  even checking her space once a month isnt enough. there are some crazy ppl out there. i am talkin from experience.\n\ndon't encourage her to keep one after her mom said no...it will just make things worse.  check out this link....this was done locally by a radio station where i live.  there are precautions to take that will help...but nothing is ever 100% safe

Easy. Grow a pair of balls and tell her that she has 90 days to move out unless she pays rent. Tell here that when her 90days are up she will either pay the rent or you will throw her stuff out in the yard. \n\nIf she doesnt pay throw all of her stuff in the front yard and change the locks. \n\nIf you threaten her but do not follow through with it she will never respect you. \n\nBTW I am 25 maried w/ kids of my own. (Notice I can see it from her perspective as far as age is concerned and yours as far as a parents perspective is concerned
