[QUOTE="klmno, post: 430261, member: 3699"] Well, here's what has been thrown out as [I]possible[/I] things PO can shoot for - although he doesn't make final decision. Group home/halfway house which have waiting lists and get the worst of the worst kids ([I]very big offenses and ususally no family/hope for better life)[/I], Residential Treatment Center (RTC), straight home with- intensive in-home therapy (aka more behavior contracts). I'm asking him to look for a transition to another facility/detention/ something where difficult child would gradually be introduced back into homelife. For instance, if he does well in that place for 3 mos, he would get a couple of hours "pass" with me, if that goes well, next month he gets a day pass, if that goes well, then an overnight pass. And in the course of that time, we get family therapy- real therapy, not just writing a behavior contract. He says there aren't any for kids that have already been committed to Department of Juvenile Justice, they only have programs like that for kids on probation while trying to prevent commitment to Department of Juvenile Justice. I think he's correct but I did express how I thought that was stupid- the kids who have been in Department of Juvenile Justice (which are the longer sentences) need that kind of transition a whole lot more. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
