What steps should you take if your ex has been giving your daughter weed vapes and you’re unsure how to address the situation? #ParentingDilemma #LegalOptions #HealthConcerns
Should you consult with a doctor about your daughter’s health issues related to weed vaping before taking action against her mother? #MedicalAdvice #HealthEvaluation #ParentalDecisions
Talk to your pediatrician and your attorney. The pediatrician may or may not be bound to report the usage as child abuse. She’ll do what she does. Most importantly, she can fully evaluate your daughter’s health knowing what specific challenges she’s facing.
Meanwhile your attorney has the ability to file a motion for ex to be limited to supervised custody, which sounds appropriate. No clue what’s causing your ex’s poor judgement, but depending on the specific circumstances, you may want to request that the ex be ordered to submit to regular drug tests or parenting classes as a requirement of exercising her parenting time.
There’s a few things to say here. First and foremost adolescents shouldn’t be smoking weed. Second, giving weed to adolescents is inappropriate, thirdly and you probably don’t really want to hear this, but she is going to smoke or vape weather you like it or not, you can try different therapies or looking into medications that can help with some mental problems to maybe slow her consumption, but she is likely going to consume until she is ready to quit. In my own personal opinion I think that is best that while she goes through this phase she has access to a safe source and not something like spice. If she goes through the dark we’d or finds a friend who goes through there she will more than likely eventually come across spice or some other synthetic cannabinoid. These chemicals are very powerful and they can cause many health issues, predominantly seizures.
I think first you need to speak to your ex about getting her into therapy or rehab for teens and at the very least limiting her consumption. If she just gives her carts all willy nilly and doesn’t at the least try to ween her off then go directly to CPS. Remember this is a delicate balance between her using weed and potentially accidentally using synthetic substances made to bypass legal systems which happen to be way worse. Getting your daughter into legal trouble usually is a last resort and in my experience with people usually just ends up with them cutting contact with family and using anyways.
People saying call CPS are morons who have never dealt with the violence of that system. Talk to a lawyer before your kid begins to hate you for ripping her away from her mother. Maybe even talk to her mother (I’d suggest via a documentable method like email or text)
Call CPS. I’m sorry, that’s just terrible. I would also go for supervised visits.
Call CPS on your ex, get the custody order changed asap
