I just got off the phone with Kanga. She has been on a kick recently to have us find her a different group home than the one run by her current Residential Treatment Center (RTC). She's been "hearing things" about the Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s group home and she no longer wants to go there. What "things" you ask??? Things such as there are staff there -- and they have the nerve to supervise the girls. And the biggest horror -- she doesn't get her 'freedom' to leave the home whenever she wants to do whatever she wants.
She is also demanding to be released from her safety plan (put in place when she engaged in sexual activity AT WORK with a male youth and then falsely accused him of rape). husband and I have both told her that we will not support her being removed from her safety plan, that we feel it is necessary to keep her and others safe.
It is sadly funny that she really thinks that her choices are none of our business because she doesn't live here. She has her mental health review meeting in two weeks. The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) works really well with the kids in helping them prepare for the meetings and they are allowed to make their own treatment proposals -- she is proposing that her safety plan be dropped. Staff has already told me that they are not supporting this request but that she will be helped to organize her thoughts and present her request. I just see that blowing up in their faces as she clearly thinks that they are "on her side".
It'll be interesting to see how they respond to her demand to be sent to a group home run by a different Residential Treatment Center (RTC) -- one without rules
