[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 24224, member: 97"] ant has been in the system since he was 13. I had to push push push to get them to keep him in. they never wanted to follow up with consequences. by the time he was 16 I felt we were also running out of time and at my insistence, he was sent to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for two yrs. it is hard to have them in the system. some places are holding tanks, some try to help but the kiddo themselves thwart all efforts. sometimes like ant they complete the program and after two years, do drugs the day they get out. ant just turned 18 when he went to adult jail for the first time. he was in that system on and off to age 23. the adult system is worse than the juvie system. some kids take longer. some take shorter. so for now you are doing the best thing you know to do. you have to try it all to save their lives sometimes. you do it for the right reasons. May God bless this effort with success! may the pain of seperation while your son undergoes construction ...be minimal for you. [/QUOTE]
