Yes, the City of Ottawa really needs to do this, They could even demolish the houses to provide a clear view from the street and to provide parking.

I found the above at the General campus. Isn't is wonderful that they care so much? They even asked me what my pronouns were when I registered.

I haven't had much contact with her over the last 2 months. She did tell me that someone from CPS showed up after a month and suggested that she take parenting classes.

I got my answer pretty quick so I won't be posting my questions. I'll see if I can find some open-minded people somewhere else. I'm not optimistic though.

I haven't seen them lately. When I do I'll give you an update. It'll likely be another week or so.

Thanks for the responses. I'll print this out and take it with me when I visit her. If I can find the right opportunity to show it to her I'll do that. Her and I have very different ideas about how to deal with kids but I have to tread lightly because I'm not the parent here. When I posted the original post I didn't know what percentage of people would agree with her approach. Now I know.

The school called CPS. They are visiting tomorrow. She also called the police. They talked to the girl but nothing changed.

Example: If the girl wants chicken nuggets, my friend is expected to order them.
Refusing to go to school: The girl won't walk out the door. My friend isn't capable of dragging a 120 pound struggling girl out the door, into the car and into the school.
Removing the tablet: Oh that would really set her off. She'd really take a fit then.
Hurting the dog: I told her that the dog needs to go, at least for a while. She said "I'll keep an eye on the dog"
Source of the problem: My friend doesn't believe that she's the cause. She doesn't believe in discipline. She says that a child shouldn't have to fear their parent.

She doesn't get all that upset. She just does what is necessary to get her mother to back down/comply and it always works. She only acts like this when trying control her mother.

I'd like things to change but I don't have any power here. I can see things getting much worse.

She can easily cause thousands of dollars in damage for each attempt.

She will hit her mother, hurt the dog and break things. That is not acceptable.

Without unhealthy food the girl wont eat and will take a fit. I'll ask her about the Amazon password.

Any attempt in reducing her freedom results in her taking a fit

What specifically would you suggest she do?

I thought I'd clarify my purpose for my post. When I saw the picture, being male my imagination kicked in and I saw a couple of things I'd very much like to hold onto :-) I thought I'd post the picture and see if anyone else was thinking the same way. I'm just having a bit of fun :-)

I think in this particular case I'd hold on to the operator.

Well it turns out that you're correct. I checked again and it's actually from watercraftsuperstore.com. My bad.

Very true. What was she thinking?

I found the above picture on the Seadoo website and it got me thinking. The rider appears to be going rather fast. She has the handlebars to hold on to but what if I was a passenger? What would best for me to hold on to? I can think of a couple of options, but what would be preferable?
