IMMEDIATE ANSWERS NEEDED.. PLEASE?
I need immediate answers from people in the Missouri area. My daughter is 18 (will turn 19 on May 26th) and is being kept in State's custody AGAINST HER WILL! She was removed from my home at the age of 15 1/2 for personal reasons that were beyond my control. She has never been in trouble with the law, makes darn near straight A's in school, is working on scholarships for college, has her own job, her own car (which she pays for, insurance included), her own phone (which she pays for), and is going to nursing school in the fall. The problem we are having now is that she was supposed to be removed from State's custody on her 18th birthday and she wasn't. The state said that as long as she was in high school, they couldn't let her go. The day after her 18th, she ran from the foster home she was in, resulting in being moved to a "Behavior Modified Foster Home" farther away from me and everyone she is familiar with. She has been labeled "a behavior problem". She is 3 months shy of her 19th birthday and the new foster parents are not letting her be an 18 yr old. They try to take her phone, her privileges, and her car. The State worker, the foster parents, the guardian ad lid em, and the judge will not listen to her, myself, or the foster parents. He only listens to what the State says they want done. The State worker doesn't even know my daughter very well, she has only visited with her face-to-face on maybe 2 or 3 different occasions. She won't even return my phone calls, let alone my daughters. Her guardian ad lid em doesn't even communicate with her regularly. Whenever my daughter tries to contact these people, they either tell her that they don't agree with her wants or they tell her they will call her back and then they don't. Isn't a guardian ad lid em supposed to fight "for" the kids and not against them? Federal law mandates that at the age of 18, these kids are no longer kids, no longer juveniles. The law mandates that they can refuse services from the state and they have to be removed from State's custody. Federal law overrules state laws. My question is as follows: How can my daughter get these people to listen to her? She cannot afford (nor can I) a "real" lawyer. What more can we do? Her next court case is next week, (mid Feb), we need a pro bono lawyer, a "heartfelt" lawyer, or something. I am having a hard time finding a lawyer that is willing to a) fight against the state; b) step on the guardian ad lid em's toes; and c) take the case without A LOT of money. Any help in this situation would be greatly appreciated. Need helpful answers... not "get a lawyer" or smart aleck answers.
