[QUOTE="klmno, post: 376832, member: 3699"] Well, I can't say that I ever actually felt like I don't want my son- I always have wanted him. But, I can't handle him or live with him on his terms. Then again, I don't think anyone else could either in a typical home/family environment. I advocated for him to get into a Residential Treatment Center (RTC), as was recommended by two state psychiatrists, but I couldn't get him in. The only other alternative was to support the judicial route and call the police every time he broke parole requirements, snuck out at night, or otherwise broke the law. Of course this has led him to a ccourse where he will now spend the majority of his teen years incarcerated in a juvenile justice facility. Unfortunately, there just are no good options for us. I hope you can find a better answer. We have an intake desk at our juvenile courts- I suggest finding out what the equivaleent is called in your jurisdiction and call them to get their advice. You could even do it anonymously at first, to get general information about what to do in a situation like this. Also, some state DSS allow parental placement so you give up physical custody, but not parental rights. You might check opn that, too, but your intake office should be able to give general info on that, too. It won't be the first time they've had a parent ask questions like that. I'm glad you reported her missing- that covers your rear as well as keeps the police on the lookout for her. Danger can still come to these kids, and they may be more susceptible to it since they are so head strong that they can handle anything. [/QUOTE]
