gam,
Thank you so much for your insight. You were right, the Social Worker was not able to tell me anything. We have determined that she is not in the facility for dehydration/exhaustion because they don't treat for that. I spoke with the mother today and she was sounding quite paranoid, asking me not to let our daughter out of my sight for a second because her aunts will take her from me which is so far from the truth. It is hard for me to believe that my daughter can't be protected in this instance, she admitted that her mother has been saying some very weird things lately. Speaking hypothetical since I don't know specifics, if she is diagnosed with bipolar or something similar, if she leaves the facility and the Dr feels like she is not fit to care for herself or at least care for her daughter, will the Dr will file papers with the court stating that fact? We are going to try and get her to sign the form so that I can talk to the facility about her case in regards to our daughter but our history is rocky at best. Not sure the mother will just allow me to keep her, she treats our daughter like a possession many times and is worried that if I have her too much then the child support can be lowered. I don't care about that, I just want to see my daughter more and keep her safe and not have to endure her mother if she is not well. I greatly appreciate your help as I am at my wits end and don't want to make matters worse but want to protect my daughter at all costs.
