[QUOTE="Petunia, post: 486960, member: 13251"] Hi, Buddy. Thank you for your response. I am not familiar with the term "chins", I assume it means child in need of services? (guessing based on the next part of your sentence). What kind of agency does that? What do they do? The only suggestion anyone ever gave us (besides more counseling, medications, etc) was filing for incorrigibility status. We didn't even have the chance to do that after we first heard about it before difficult child committed enough repeat offenses that the police filed for it. The juvenile justice system so far seems to be less than helpful. Yes, our younger child is a boy. He plays football and wrestles and has been involved with the gifted/talented program and math bowl team at school. He so far seems to choose a much better peer set than difficult child ever did. He has been verbalizing his confusion about why his brother can steal and curse at us and he never goes to jail. That worries me. We have done some counseling outside of difficult child and I found a parent support group about an hour away (their kids were all adults, but they could relate to what I'm going through.) I looked online and there is a Naranon group that is closer to us that I intend to check out. It seems like so many groups/information focus on how not to enable your grown child (or other adult user), but for parents of juveniles there's just not much. Or I guess I personally haven't found much. Except boot camps and I'm not sure whether those are just a racket or for real. [/QUOTE]
