[QUOTE="WSM, post: 257165, member: 5169"] Our difficult child could have gone to juvvy at age nine, but the judges just didn't want to do it. They kept dropping charges to keep him out (3 felonies, weapons to school). And they didn't have (so they said) other alternatives except a wildly inappropriate 'diversion' program that told him all about huffing and sex. I can't see how juvvy would help a chemical imbalance or a brain structural difference like aspbergers. It will only make anxiety much worse. A 9 year old will be eaten alive in a place like that. I can't see how it can make anything better, except to make him so afraid of going back and give him such nightmares he becomes medication compliant--but that's not the problem, is it? And why should he follow his contract, do it or go to juvvy? What does juvvy mean to him? Nothing, it won't mean anything until it's too late. I can't believe they'd send a 9 year old to juvvy rather than an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or a therapeutic foster home. It's craziness. [/QUOTE]
