[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 173207, member: 1498"] The same therapist who told your nephew all those horrible things about his birth just a week before he was suppose to go to court to get off some of his restrictions offered to say that detention doesn't work for your nephew? Did he offer to say that he provided the child with information that anyone with any intelligence at all would know would severely upset the child and is likely the cause of his running off? We call that taking responsibility for one's actions. The therapist's allowing the child to suffer because of the therapist's poor judgement and timing but offering to say something else -- detention doesn't work -- as a trade off for admitting his own mistakes isn't exactly taking responsibility for his poor professional choices. And doing it at the child's expense is morally bankrupt. In fact, telling the PO what he proposes to tell without explaining why your nephew had his setback very well might work against your nephew. The justice system just might see that as a challenge and decide to detain the boy just to show him who's boss. [/QUOTE]
