[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 449335, member: 12490"] So - the "bad" options are 2. The first is a therapeutic boarding school. The reason we present that as bad is because of the length of stay, removal from "real life" and limitations on home interaction/visits, etc. The other "bad option" that our attorney would like to present to him is that if he refuses or doesn't go along, he can spend time in juvenile detention. He sadi that with a current pending case agianst him for "posession on school grounds", falling back into substances at his boarding school, being sent to Wilderness and still balking at every opportunity his family is making to get his life back on track, the court if notified will put him in detention. My husband and I are very uneasy with that for a couple of reasons. First, we feel that the focus needs to be on treatment and identifying helpful medications and locking him up will not help him make progress. Second, we are afraid that if he were to do that even for a short period of time, he would meet some very bad kids and things could get worse. the attorney wants to tell him this though as a harsh dose of reality. He feels he doesn't understand the importance of working with us to help him. [/QUOTE]
