[QUOTE="klmno, post: 393215, member: 3699"] I agree- the worst thing in the world you could do right now is bail her out of this and rescue her from these consequences. My heart goes out to you- My son's situation is a lot different but I beat myself up constantly because he was first committed to Department of Juvenile Justice as a newly-turned 14 yo and is now in there a second time. I feel like at that age, I should have been able to keep him out and "rescue" him from his own drive to sabatoge his good opportunity for a better future. But I couldn't- not even when he was 13/14 yo- so I sure wouldn't be able to do it for an older teen or young adult, no matter how much I wanted to. [/QUOTE]
