[QUOTE="Jeppy, post: 315266, member: 7564"] Thanks for the replies. If it costs me, it costs me - I know the state would if anything take a percentage of my income vs. Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s which charge more than I earn. difficult child skips a lot of school and is failing everything. Has stopped acting up in class since he was threatened with expulsion last year, so he is capable of change but only if his back is up against the wall. When he turns 16 I expect him to drop out which probably would make him a lot easier to live with as he hates school. He is bright and could get a GED no problem if he wants to if it comes to that. The school did evaluate him and said he was normal but "unmotivated" and wouldn't do an IEP. The Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) diagnosis is from individual therapist and difficult child denies the diagnosis and would fight being labelled at school. I haven't gone to the next level with PD - that is something to think about, but I think the courts will be responsive as they are tired of dealing with him - it has been four years now he's been involved with them. If any of his friends' families offered to take him in I would happily pay them to do so. He was banned from best friend's house though - doesn't behave there either. It's good to hear klmno that the incarceration is not as bad as you thought. I do think with juveniles they really do try to reform and not just punish. [/QUOTE]
