Runaway teen.

Can anyone give any advice? A few people may be aware that my sisters decided to runaway on Friday. So I decided to pick them up and have them at mine for a few days. Today however, one of them aged 13, thought it
Was big and clever to punch, spit at, kick and swear at my mum before running out the house. ( to be honest I would have killed her by now, hyperthetically). This was about 4 ish. My mum has now phoned the police about a runaway child and I think she should press charges for assault to teach her that she cant get away with hitting people let alone her own mother! Any advice on the situation? She is also now smoking weed ( which none of the family do). She hasn't always been like this, before Christmas she was a lively. Girl. But has moved just after Christmas and gotten in with the wrong crowd. Am not making excuses, what she has done is awful and needs sorting out. Any advice is welcome xx

perhaps the ploice could give her a talking to? I was about to go off the rails when I was 13, and a ploiewoman came and talked to me. There wasn't an issue with drugs -ahem -in those days, but she scared me enough to think about what I was doing
She took me to a volunteer group that helped old people and I never looked back. I had a purpose and learnt so much.
