My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Illinois
My step daughter has been acting out over the past three years. Refusing to do homework...not turning it in...chewing gum in class...being disruptive in class...being fist uptime at home. Fighting with her mother, hitting her mother, her brother, destroying things at home that aren't her things, putting holes in walls. She is defiant of any authority. She is only 12 years old. I was hoping there was some help for her. Therapy was tried but she lies and says everything is ok at home. Is there any help out there for her? Can she be charged as an incorrigible child? The parent have tried other methods to correct her behavior such as taking things away from her or grounding her. None of this works. She doesn't think rules apply to her. Is there any help available? I'm just an interested third party but maybe I could put the parents on the right track to help their child. Any information is greatly appreciated.
