[QUOTE="klmno, post: 472326, member: 3699"] All I know for sure at this point is that he has the best chance for making it ITRW if he goes to a living environment where he does respect the authority and the PO/courts/GAL/sd/system back that authority up instead of blaming that authority or over-riding it. That's the bottom line to me at this point. difficult child asked me why, if this place a long term group home and he's getting close to 18, then if I wouldn't let him come home right away, why not just put him in the long term group home. Now he said this like it was supposed to prove his arguement that he should come straight to live with me. What it did though, was remind me that this was my initial question to PO- why aren't they preparing this kid for adulthood instead of using the excuse that since he wants a diploma instead of a GED, he HAS to come back to me?
