[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 197728, member: 4040"] I wonder about the reasons the parents have for this. Are they overwhelmed and desparate to get help for their child? Can they not afford the cost of basic care and feeding? Are they single parents feeling completely alone who have no support anywhere? Are they dropping off the kids because the step parent wants a clean start and the parent fears some kind of abuse? It would be interesting to know the facts behind the actions. If Miss KT needed inpatient care, I would have to take her to either the Bay Area or Los Angeles, 300-400 miles away. We don't have anything like that for teens in Central CA. I wonder if most of these parents are just hoping their children will finally get some help this way. It's just sad all the way around, though. [/QUOTE]
