[QUOTE="klmno, post: 169318, member: 3699"] Sorry- I know it is tough-been there done that. If things are like they are here, the PO and then courts would have found out anyway- unless everyone at sd and you had covered for him. If they had found out and you hadn't of reported him, it would be a strike against you and him. This way, they have to report to the judge that you are working with them and assuming you want him still placed in your home, they will more than likely trust you to make him follow the rules. If you hadn't called, they would use that at reason to not send him home sooner or at all if (when) he goes to juvy. Oh- I do agree with the others that the punishments aren't real effective and it isn't very realistic to think these kids are going to tow the line and obey all of those rules perfectly for an extended period. If they were that self-disciplined, they could and would be living out on their own, holding down a job and paying the bills. One more thought- I don't know if they have this there, but you could asked the PO if he can be put on a monitor. [/QUOTE]
