Good Grief
I have a 20 yr old SD who has a intellectual disability. Right now she is in a stage of cyber sex and sending naked pictures of herself to her so called bf. We have told her on numerous occasions that is not ok to do as she is disrespecting her body and giving the boy (or boys for all we know) the wrong impression. After we caught her for the cyber sex we took all of her electronics away. We understand she needs a phone, our issue is we cant just get her a flip phone cause she isn't on our plan. She has her own plan and pays her own bill. Should we just do it and get a flip phone? Her BM doesn't help the cause as she drills it into my SD heads that we treat her like a 7 yr old and no the 20 yr old she is. BM went on to say that we want SD to live with us forever so she can take care of us. SD cant even take care of herself. Currently she hasn't washed her clothes in about 10 days, hasn't brushed teeth on a regular basis or take showers like she should. My husband and I are broken records when it comes to talking to her.
any suggestions on what to do with current situation??
Is there any way that what
Is there any way that what she could be doing is illegal? Is there a social worker that is involved with her care?
If she is legally independent, I'm not sure if you can do much other than what you are doing which is to try to continue to educate her. If she is somehow still under your DH's guardianship, I imagine he can take control of finances etc.. and as such could switch her plan.
I would say it depends on who
I would say it depends on who has conservatorship over the SD? If she is intellectually disabled, is her DH in control of her finances or does she handle it herself?
Regardless, if she is living under your roof, your rules apply. Take her phone away, give her a prepaid flip phone. She needs to be careful because if she sends a nude pic to an incorrect phone number, and it happens to be a kid, she can get in big trouble for that.

My answer is let sd live with BM since bm seems to have no problem with her daughter NOT bathing and sending nudies.
My new motto: LET GO...LET BM
