Hi There,
Welcome to the site.
I would say that if her mother and your daughter want her to stay with you that a judge and cafcas would look at this favourably, this may not be the case but just my view.
I will ask the CLC to drop by and coment as to thier view on this and see what they say.

I would add to this that if your daughter kept running away from her mothers and coming to you, at some point, the court would realise that at 14, your daughter is going to be better living with you than running away and living on the streets. I'd say you have a very good chance.
