[QUOTE="SRL, post: 497016, member: 701"] Hi kwioake--I'm glad that you found us. First off I'd like to say that my heart goes out to you. It's heartbreaking to learn that a child has been involved in such behaviors. :grouphug: I agree with the others about staying on top of things with child protective services. Be assertive in asking what resources are available locally, and if you have other children in the home what needs to be done to protect them. Outside of insurance-paid Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s we've had parents who were in your shoes resort to various other options. Some of those that I can think of include: 1) one parent moving into an apartment to keep the offender away from siblings 2) placing the child in a therapeutic foster home 3) therapeutic day treatment, which is less expensive than residential 4) court-ordered treatment 5) taking out loans or second mortgages on homes to pay for longer treatment programs 6) surrendering guardianship to the state, which means giving up all family ties and legal responsibility (this should only be done with consultation with an attorney in the state of residence so it's done in accordance with the law). Other members will likely have other possible ideas for you. None of these are easy on families, but you are in a very hard place already. [/QUOTE]
