Therapists Teach "Coping Skills" to Teenager Forced to Live with Father She Fears

In another audio from Collinsville, a group of doctors and therapists tell a teenager that if she practices good coping skills she can thrive in her father's custody

In the latest disturbing audio from a case in Collinsville, Illinois, a group of doctors and therapists take turns speaking to a teenager.

In previous recordings, we heard the teenager proclaim she’s suicidal, afraid of her father, and indicated that her father was sexually inappropriate with her.

We heard a caseworker downplay all these concerns.

“It doesn’t rise to the level of sexual abuse.” The caseworker says in one recording of the allegation that her father smacked this girl’s butt.

Despite these allegations, her father was given sole custody.

As such, this teenager is suicidal.

Along with the recording, I was given an update a few days ago.

I am at the hospital with my daughter. She came out and said her Dad has been doing things he has been told to stop. My understanding is she is getting set up for a CAC next week. The gal still said she would be better off with her Dad. They told my daughter she said no and yelled at the GAL saying she isn’t listening to her. So GAL said we had to take her to hospital. All because she said she would kill herself if she goes back to her Dads. How on gods green earth is this happening. The child has been hospitalized 8 times since January. Says that things she reported previously haven’t stopped and that he has a camera watching her room. Even someone in the family came forth anonymously and spoke with the police. I don’t understand what Dad would do this to their child. He is making it out like she is crazy.
