[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 612284, member: 15801"] I think there is a big difference between 15 and 18 and so if what your son says is true then it probably is not the best fit for him. I would check with the program and the PO that in fact he is the oldest and that the others are 15... If that's true I would definitely advocate for him. I think often the court system looks for a bed, any bed and often it is not a good fit. I think it helps when a parent is willing to work with the system to help find a solution. A lot of parents throw up their hands or just complain but I my experience has been that if you are pleasant, honest and not just trying to get your kid out of trouble then they will work with you. At least that is my experience and as you know I have plenty of experience. TL [/QUOTE]
