[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 22424, member: 1835"] Skeeter, I agree that I could use some counseling, but I really do understand the legal ramifications of what my son is facing now. One of the four boys involved in the crime that got them all sent into placement is in a group home similar to my son's, although they have much stricter rules, i.e., it was made clear from day one that he could have NO contact with his parents for the first 30 days and would only be considered for an EXTREMELY limited, four-hour home visit after 45 days. On the other hand, the easy child at my son's group home allowed us to visit him the day after he was placed and allows nightly phone calls. Our son was also allowed to visit home for five days after only two weeks. In many ways, although this has made the past four months not quite as painful for us since we've had access to our son, I'm not sure it's been in any of our best interest. I've thought a few times that my son might have adjusted better and become "immersed" (as his easy child put it) had he been placed in a much stricter setting. However, be that as it may be, now we have been asked to basically back off, and we have to do so for his sake. We have the greatest trust and confidence in his easy child, and if he thinks this will help our son progress more approiately through his program, then so be it. [/QUOTE]
