[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 469488, member: 6705"] Hi there! Welcome to the family. I'm glad you found us, and terribly sorry you had to. My daughter is in exactly the same position, only she's 16. We've done house arrest, probation, tried Residential Treatment Center (RTC) but they wouldn't hold her because she didn't want to stay. Different states have different rules. In Ohio, for example, an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) won't hold a kid over the age of 14 if they don't want to stay... Unless they're on probation. Then, the kid doesn't have a choice. But... Essentially, here, from age 14-18, the parents are required to care for the kid, but not allowed to DO anything. Basically, it's a Catch-22. What do you do when you discover a theft, or when he is punching holes in walls? [/QUOTE]
