I know this family, and schizophrenia runs in the family. The mother continously gets taken away to an institution cause she refuses to take her medication. She is dangerous.

The mother recently took custody of her daughter, because her father refuses to take care of her anymore. She is completely out of control. She is 14, drinks, smokes, and god knows what else. She is so clearly not right. I've witnessed her bang her head on a bar, cause she was upset. I asked her why she was upset and she didn't know. (Clearly paranoid too)

She has gotten 10 times worth, even going as far as making a camp fight in her bedroom. She burned all her aunts pictures, because she was mad at her. Her mother and grandparents simple say, "Girls will be girls" and take her out on a shopping spree or out to dinner.

I'm sick of this. When I am near her, I'm literally scared. She is clearly dangerous, and it's impossible to tell what she is going to do next.

Do you think I should call Children's Services? They are not taking care of her mental state. What should I say to them?
