[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 376640, member: 6546"] Denita-- Just a note about the window locks--when our then 13 year old difficult child was sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night to meet up with high school boys...we locked her windows shut with key-locks that attached right to the window and prevented her from opening them. We also had an inner hallway door that we locked to prevent her from leaving the house. So at night, she could leave her bedroom and use the bathroom, get a drink, whatever---but she could not sneak out of the house. So she was NOT locked in her bedroom--but she WAS locked in the house. Big difference...legally. I was very open with law enforcement about the locks....and on the occassions that I called police to report a runaway, I showed them my keys and demonstrated that I was trying to do everything in my powert to keep her home and safe. They were on my side agreeing that "ya gotta do what ya gotta do". [/QUOTE]
