[QUOTE="Janna, post: 254567, member: 2737"] I don't know why you'd WANT him off probation. Even if the P.O. is a bonehead (been there done that, we JUST took B off a week ago), you have SOME type of protection if difficult child would beat you up (that's a violation), go out and get in more trouble (that's a violation), etc. I will tell you, we had a heck of a time with B. This is what happened with him: he worked at Wal Mart, stole out of the register, 8 times for a total of $600. That got him put on probation. So, a WEEK later, LOLOL, we're at Sears getting our family portraits done, he steals again - hahahaha, pair of headphones, gets picked up. I tell P.O., hey, that's a violation, you're gonna lock him up, right? Nope. I let it go. We go to court, judge tells him, do it again, you're getting yanked out of home. So, 4 days later (I'm telling you, I couldn't write this for a story book), he takes SO's keys, jumps in the car (no permit, no license) and runs it through a turf farm, as* ends into a tree. Totals it. I call P.O. You know what kind of FIGHT I had to get to have B put away for that? I'm thinking, this is ridiculous, you SAID if he did anything else......but no. I had to fight tooth and nail. And yes, the Juvenille Justice System is the pitts. No doubt, but at least with probation - you have SOMETHING. No WAY would I let difficult child live with me, with a concern of getting beaten up, without something. NO way. So...anyway - sorry. Family therapy. Yeah, did it, probably 8 times. Even did Family Based where they send two people to your house to work with the family, say once or twice a week. I liked having people here, because difficult child's at home are usually more laid back, see? My kids acted like they normally would here, and the therapist's could see more behaviors. In an office for 60 minutes, they see nothing. difficult child's are sitting, quietly, anxious, don't want to talk. I'm not a fan, but some are. Sorry he's getting sent home. I hope something good happens here for you. [/QUOTE]
