My step daughter moved in with us due to being completely out of control at her moms house. She is at her doing the same thing. She is 17 and in the last two weeks she stayed all night long without approval and no call, no text. ( two different days). Then came home one day at 12:45 when she was supposed to be home right after work and then got ISS for getting in an argument with someone at school. Out of control!!! We took her phone away and her car. Her dad wants to give her phone back because for safety reasons. I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions???

You could get her a tracfone. Thats limited with minutes for emergency's only.

Nope. She's old enough to figure out another way to communicate if there is an emergency. Giving her the phone back will only teach her that her dad will eventually cave. I would also make her get a part time job this summer so she will stay busy and out of trouble.

Would you sell her car or give it back to her after awhile of good behavior? How long should she go without a phone or car??
