    Minor Incarcerated After Battery On Her Disabled Mother
    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: west Virginia

    I know i'm going to get some harsh remarks but i'm a bit lost. I am a partially paralyzed single mom of a 15 year old girl, we got into a spat she whacked me on the leg with my cane the law was called she admitted she done it the cop went to place her in handcuffs she said wait my mom and pulled away the cop then jerked her by the arm and fight or flight kicked in and a struggle ensued a second officer joined the fight and my daughter was arrested on a domestic violence and obstructing charge. a no contact order and a 25,000 bond was placed on her I was not allowed to speak at the hearing she was placed in juvenile hall, 3 days later we had a second hearing (still no contact made with me) the judge asked her if she wanted to go back to juvie or a shelter she said home, he got angry and sent her back to juvie,. my daughter helps me with cooking and things on weekends when my caretakers are off, nothing major major, she is my ONLY support system now I sit alone not even knowing where she is. what are my options, and what road is this process going down? have I lost my daughter forever when I was just wanting to scare her straight? her lawyer won't talk to me.

    This is what happens when your 15 year old is so out of control that she hits her mom with a cane and fights the police. Know they can't keep her there forever. Your 15 year old should not be your support system. She's a child and she shouldn't have that kind of responsibility towards you. You're supposed to be raising her to leave the house and live her life, not being your sole source of support and thus being tied to you forever. You need to work on that while she's (hopefully) learning some discipline while she's in juvenile hall.
