Parents of children with severe behavioral issues (pathological lying, false abuse allegations, defiance) have no effective guidance and live in fear of CPS

Summary

A parent describes three years of escalating, dangerous lying from their 11-year-old: falsely telling relatives the father is abusive and starving her sibling, claiming suicidal intent 'for attention,' stealing money, contradicting stories to divide the parents, and lying even when caught on camera. Therapy and crisis management have been ongoing for months but the behavior is 'only getting worse.' The parent is 'extremely overwhelmed and scared,' fears CPS knocking 'any day,' and doesn't know what to do. This is a very high-intensity, recurring, and essentially unsolved pain: existing parenting resources and generic therapy give situation-blind advice, there is no structured playbook or escalation path for parents facing serious child behavior/mental-health crises, and no way to document incidents safely or coordinate with professionals. Parents in this position would pay for real, situation-matched help — and currently have nowhere to turn.
