[QUOTE="Star*, post: 318756, member: 4964"] Thank you all for your comments. I think there have been a great deal of knowledge given here both from Mothers who have raised difficult children, and from literally inside our prison system like our own Donna. Then comment about getting kids in Head Start programs makes tons of sense and I wanted to add to support your local DARE programs as well. They are grossly underfunded/understaffed. I'm not sure what the answer is to these kids. I do know that the services or rather "lack of services" that Dude received while he was in Department of Juvenile Justice was a literal joke. Dude himself told me that Department of Juvenile Justice was like a big daycare for goof-offs. The only thing that was decent was the school. The staff was not adequate, nor were they adequately trained to handle any problems. But then again - I actually saw the training manual for a local Residential Treatment Center (RTC) staff member and it's a learn-as-you-go process. OMG - are you KIDDING? So this is what we're giving our problem kids? And then there is mental health and well - that was the 23 year old counselor who was at best - ridiculous and straight out of college. Are you kidding me? (remember the one that said "We can go look at Christmas lights if you want to, I really wanted to be a doctor but I flunked out of medication school and was easy?") Just like the fosters - NO ONE IS WATCHDOG to any of these people. So just put them in jail - where they aren't a problem.....and throw away the key. Generation after generation.....they seem to be okay with being what a homeless man told me yesterday was the correct term for those who don't want an honest life, have never worked an honest days labor for an honest days wage, would rather sell drugs and teach their kids to do the same, and cheat welfare - the term used here is - Won't come up, okay with being low. Even among the homeless - there's a term for it. What a shame. As far as the boy who raped the grandmother? I do not think he deserves to ever be allowed out of jail. FYI. I don't think any violent sex-offender deserves to be allowed out of jail. [/QUOTE]
