I dont see what calling the cops on your child will do, unless she's threating to kill you or something. This will only make the situation WORSE! trust me! For example, if you caught your daughter tokin some reefer, and you called the cops on her to get her to stop doing it, you know what would happen? The cops would what you want, get her to stop momentarily, but would also fuck her up possibly by putting it on her record etc. Would you want to taint your daughters record by calling the cops? Why? Things like bootcamp are for reaaaalllllllyy misguided teens, not teens who break curfew. Does she do criminal activities constantly? Drugs? Uncontrollable sex with others? Why dont you ground her, and just make her stay at home. One might think in this case it wouldn't work, but what is she going to do? Hit you? I doubt that, at least I and nobody i know would consider hitting their parents. I think things like calling her friends, for doing nothing but hanging out with her is also a bad call. She willing wants to hang out with them, so why would bitching them out and scaring the hell out of them be in your right? Is it illegal for them to hang out? Are they pressuring your daughter to "stay out late"? Im sure she wants to stay out there with them, and its HER choice. So why would you be mad at her friends? Unless they are doing illegal activities, I would not suggest doing this. I believe its just being overprotective. It will also make your child hate you more, which is no good.
How about trying to compromise? Tell her the things you could do, scare her a little. Seems like you have, which is a good thing. There are so many ways to deal with these types of issues, without having to call the cops.
