[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 303595, member: 1514"] Well, I didnt go read your update but I have been following your saga even if I havent been posting to you. I had been hoping the MST would be helping you, but sadly I think they got to you and your difficult child too late in the game. Your difficult child was too old I think. They think they know it all at 16 and 17. I dont think a Treatment Foster Care program is going to do a darned thing but house him either at this point. My son had to go into one after coming out of a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) at 16 and it was a joke. I know there are some excellent ones because I have seen some in action but they have been with younger kids. Last but not least, the delay in the consequences in completely normal and one of the things that bugged me to death. It is a problem even in the world of adult legal system. They get in trouble, get arrested and then the court date isnt until months later. By then, they have completely forgotten what they have done. My son is on probation for something he did two years ago. He will be on it for two more years. He didnt go to trial for a year after he did it. [/QUOTE]
