[QUOTE="klmno, post: 370366, member: 3699"] True, KTMom. I hold the juvenile court system partially responsible for difficult child not getting the point though- these kids see the people blame the parents and the punishments cause more problems for the parents than the kids so it's just too easy for these kids not to take responsibility. They wonder why the parents can't make the kids mind and stay under control- because they tie the parents hands and try to control the parents instead of backing them up. They want control of the household, then take no adequate action when things start going awry. Not that difficult child and I both couldn't have made better decisions along the way, but I still blame the previous PO an awful lot. Any PO who spends time telling a parent that they should let their 13yo difficult child play M rated games, but can't return phone calls to a psychiatric hospital or take ANY action when learning that a kid has been in a psychiatric hospital 5 times in 2 mos for self-harming and becoming aggressive at home, has had 9 medication changes in 3 mos, and is cutting himself, then recommends that the kid be turned over to state Department of Juvenile Justice instead of going to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) as their own psychiatric hospital's psychiatrist recommended, carries some responsibility in all this, in my humble opinion. Unfortunately though, we can't hold them accountable. [/QUOTE]
