[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 420064, member: 1169"] I have had several people tell me over the last few weeks that for many kids in these long-term RTCs, their parents just drop them off and leave. That they do not participate in treatment, talk to their kid on the phone, or acknowledge the child's existence in anyway other than filling out the forms for continued funding. While I have had daydreams of doing that, I cannot imagine actually doing it. I can understand placing a child permenantly outside your home, but I can't understand not at least making sure that they are getting treatment and education, not telling them that you still have hope that they will get better (even on the days when you have no hope).
