[QUOTE="Shari, post: 205484, member: 1848"] Its a good idea, but I ditto Star's response. *** Even as the gaurdian, your hands will be tied as to what you are allowed to do. If you get handed a bad case, as Star describes, how will you handle it? I'm not saying don't do it - we need more of them - I'm just saying to think it through, there could be ugly, ugly situations. *** I wanted to be a teacher. I still want to be a teacher. But after dealing with difficult child 1 and his mother, where for so long, we were forced to sit on our hands, unable to do a thing, waiting for her to commit a crime big enough to justify intervention, while she neglected and abused him and her other children for her own personal gain... the sleep I lost, the overall effects it had on me, my family, and my job, etc...I realized I could not do justice to a room full of kids knowing that I WOULD be encountering another child in the same sort of situation, possibly even worse (in comparison, difficult child 1's background is minor beans compared to many), and where I would have even less ability to do anything about it. *** Just think about it.
