You daughter violated her probation, she will be designated to the facility of their choosing. They are not considering her family's hardships, nor is she entitled to decide where they are going to hold her. If she didn't want to go back in, she knew what the rules of freedom were. Maybe after these next eleven months she will listen to you and behave herself. She has to change or the next time will be much, much more severe.
