[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 326841, member: 6546"] Janet-- Thanks for the links! I think you are correct...the only option is to file a petition indicating that the child is, in legal terms in SC, "Beyond the Control of the Parents"...which usually means documentation of a number of these status offenses...and it gets Department of Juvenile Justice involved in the determination of placement for the child. Department of Juvenile Justice has told us that if difficult child gets picked up for anything.....ANYTHING....she will be in their custody (because of prior police reports), and they will determine a placement for her at that time depending on the nature of the offense...which may, or may not, be in a therapeutic setting. If she gets caught making any more threats, or caught with razor blades or knives at school--it will mean jail time...not Residential Treatment Center (RTC) time. Obviously, husband and I were hoping to get her some serious help before it comes to jail... [/QUOTE]
