Experience my friend. Your words and story is resonating with me. As you know I have nothing I can do without breaking a statute.

Gettin any crabs?

The police need to clear that meth house out and put it out of operation,that is no place for anyone to live let alone a vulnerable 16 year old

I feel for you,I have a daughter who went through the typical alcohol teenage years and think their immortal binge drinking and I was concerned but knew it was a normal phase after her and her friends left school and seemed to socialise in pubs all the time

She's in her early 20s has a professional job and those teenage years are long gone

I count myself lucky like many parents here that she was never in the situation your child is now,and in your shoes I really don't know what you can do legally?

Trying to force your daughter back might push her even further away,it's a heart braking tricky situation and I hope she moves out of that place soon and you can all move forward as a loving family again

Ha ha , got a few a month back returning from going after whiting . Sad thing is that after fishing / crabbing for 40 plus years one got me as well . lol . Had to rip its claw off , then it had a go with the other claw so i ripped that of as well . I can tell you i was glad it was early in the season and the crab had not reached February size . Your daughter mate , just do what you have to .

PS , got any mates from the RAN nearby ..........was just wondering .

a reply to: reldra

That's a thought... and a reasonable suggestion but this stupid dad doesn't want to waste or bulls#it for police time without evidence.

You gotta know how smart kids are, and they are smart enough to know. I have word now my daughter has moved. (snap chat)

Perhaps a smart move. Gone again. I weigh it up....Am I stalking my daughter? Can't stand this trying to do it right,

Someone else outside this family needs to speak with her. I don't want some government SJW to weigh in and say/expand on this.

Sounds tragic aye! But that's reality. No one is going to say to my daughter "GO HOME"

Mum, is now beside herself. Dammit!!!

Sigh,,,need a break.

Cheers for your reply.

Yes I am from the 46th Leeuwin. Have mates from the 47th down your way.

You are right in your estimation. But we know police can't bust down doors without tangible info. So far all I have is hearsay.

Your consideration and suggestion is great. I now have word my daughter has moved but to where I will have to further investigate. Just a simple instagram to a third party did it.

So she isn't missing and mums happy with that although a little pissed off.,

Thank you for your concern,

my regards,

Nearly went the Leeuwin path myself as a youngster but got wind of some nasty stories coming out of there . Not sure if they were true but it was enough to put me off .

a reply to: Kandinsky

Your post is encouraging.

My spine is lacking in that I want to progress legally. Sure I can drive the 40 k to pursue her. She's moved so I would be out of luck. In this respect I'll take it as it comes.

Least ways I know she is still alive.

Tomorrow I'll sum up my position. Take the dressing from my face and go for a long drive.

Cheers,

bally

a reply to: Kandinsky

Yeah, I'm tragic at writing stuff hence I don't often put words on ATS. I have knowledge about protection orders but the visaversa from the other is more damaging to my family than what it's worth.

Late news sees an instagram posted to others which reveals that she has gone to another location.

I will follow this up/ She isn't considered 'missing' at this stage.

regards and thanks for your reply.

a reply to: TrueBrit

I have considered your suggestion. And will do so. presently I am following another trail albeit it slim as to her current whereabouts.

Thank you sir,

my kind regards,

Bally

a reply to: hutch622

Yeah, I know. Nothing like what was reported was seen by me. Would have to been occasioned prior to my joining up.

Kind regards,

bally

a reply to: bally001

Perhaps it was the parents embellishing a bit . If i had gone it would have been in 79 .

a reply to: randomtangentsrme

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. I want her back not for me but also for her mum who is beside herself.

bally

a reply to: hutch622

Yeah, I can understand. I left for Freemantle in 74.

Godspeed sir.

Remember, as Da Vinci once said, all obstacles yield to firm resolve.

Those words are taken to heart.

Thank you sir.

I agree with this. I wish I had put my youngest in the youth center when she was 16. We could not control her without resorting to violence. When it got that bad, we just let her go. Fortunately, she made to her 30's, but has a bad record to repair behind her.

a reply to: MOMof3

Sorry to hear your pain. I can't send my young lady to a youth center without her consent. But then I feel she would ditch the program shortly after entering it.

I really want her to succeed.
