[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 82182, member: 3450"] Hi, I also live in NY state. I filed a PINS on my dtr when she was 15 and it helped create a paper trail of sorts and also protected me from any problems with CPS or police--it was clear that I wasn't a negligent parent just letting her kid run wild (she was running wild too--skipping school, staying away all night, drinking, drugging, etc.) Unfortunately, it didn't help her turn her life around--the probation officer tried to help and also warned her of all the bad consequences she was likely to incurr. I ended up sending her to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in Utah when she was nearly 16. She relapsed on return and I filed another PINS when she was 17. This time her violation of it resulted in her being court ordered to rehab. By the time she left rehab she was nearly 18 and then she left home, did lots of stupid things, but at 19 decided enough was enough and now she is able to support herself and has settled down. Anyway, good luck to you--you will find this a great group of people to commiserate with and also to get lots of good advice from! Jane [/QUOTE]
