[QUOTE="klmno, post: 354231, member: 3699"] I had told difficult child that I had a feeling the boy's parents were blaming him for every misgiving he had, about a week ago. And I told him that given that, they probably would call the police on him if they ever saw him on their property or doing something he shouldn't. After the mom left last night, I just looked at difficult child and said "I told you so". He came back with how he couldn't make it in the real world, he'd end up being institutionalized all his life, and so on and so forth. Really, my son has been in a more vunerable situation than hers this past month. But I just said to difficult child "I don't know what to tell you- you made your own choices". I think it just boils down to my son being the one used to make an example out of. He doesn't comply with rules, the other boys try that, my son is the one to get busted because he's already tied up in the system, he gets deeper in the system, the parents use that to convince their kids that's why they better comply with the parents and law and it works for a while, while my son never gets out of it but ends up learning and doing worse.
