I tell the story all the time. At 3 yrs old, we told our daughter to clean her room or else we were going to donate all her toys. She looked at us, went to the kitchen, and came back and handed us a trash bag. We packed up her toys and gave them away. You can't parent a child that does that
Kid called your bluff. Sounds like you needed a new carrot/stick model to motivate her. If she can take that kind of internal confidence, drive, and moxy and channel it into something constructive, that’s a kid who could be an unstoppable force as an adult. That’s fortunate 500 CEO, president, inventor, entrepreneur, or druggie burnout. There’s really no in between.

We threw the toys away. It was no bluff. You, like everyone else that hasn't dealt with it, have no idea what you are talking about.
If the child doesn't respond to the punishment and correct the behavior, then there is nothing you can do legally as a parent to alter the behavior. The child literally becomes unparentable. You are under the impression that the child is rational, they are not. There was never any reasoning with my daughter. You were wasting your time.
Oh, the school? They don't care. They are there for the normal kids. They just wanted the troubled kids to GTFO. Police? Yeah, forget them too. Unless your kid is killing someone, they just pass the offense along to the parents. Doctors? Yeah right. In Alabama at the age of 13, you are in control of your medical care. So, if the prescribe some medications or therapies, the 13+ year old kid has to agree to participate. Think about that. The medical system expects the irrational child to make rational decisions on their mental health. It's amazingly stupid.
Again, I'm praying for the OP's family and hope that they are able to find the right place to help their daughter.
