[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 522830, member: 6546"] Hello! I don't think I responded to your other thread - so let me start by offering you a warm Welcome. We have been in the same situation several times and watched our daughter leave her "abusive" home and be welcomed in by somebody else's family who throught they were "rescuing" this poor child from us terrible ogres. In our case, our difficult child showed her true colors to her new family within a matter of days (and then they couldn't send her back her fast enough!). In you son's case? It sounds like he may have his stuff "together" enough to last quite awhile with his host family. I don't know how student welfare works, but if you have to go through an investigation I would think you would want to just be honest and show them documentation of your son's diagnosis and the things you have done to try and help him. It may be that he returns home when he runs out of money or wears out his welcome with the new family - or he may stay there for quite some time... Honestly? If it keeps your home a bit peaceful (and keeps you from being threatened with baseball bats) - let him go! In fact, what we have done is immediately introduce ourselves to the other parents and bring copies of our child's medical and police records. We THANK them for being willing to take responsibility. We let them know how pleased we are with the arrangement... Usually, that's enough to get them on high alert... [/QUOTE]
