Is this considered tough love? It doesn't seem that tough. She stood on a corner wearing a sign for an hour. No biggie. I've seen a lot worse in NYC from both kids and parents.
I do think that the daughter might benefit from some type of counseling just to determine if the girl's behavior is normal adolescent snarkiness or if she has dyslexia or another type of learning disability.
What is DHS? I am assuming it's family or children's services. Am I correct?
Edited to fix a typo.
