[QUOTE="branbran, post: 82391, member: 3762"] I am also from NY, Westchester County and I agree with the PINS, It will at the very least protect you from any blame. I received most of the help for my daughter through the school system, if you could believe that. She got all her evaluations through the school as well as most of her placements. She is in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) in Mass. right now, but when she was home and getting in trouble alot, the cops told me I needed to file a PINS petition to protect myself, they told me that I could get in trouble if I didn't do something to help my child. Little did they know, I was living in hell and bending over backwards for her on a daily basis, but I needed something on paper to prove it. I can't complain about the system in my town, the courts and the schools have always worked in my favor, my daughter has always gotten what she needed. I guess we are lucky in that respect. In my opinion, you should file the PINS petition. If she violates, she will pay the price, however she just might get the help she needs. The best thing that ever happened to my difficult child was her getting arrested. She was in lock up for a few months, but ultimately she was placed in a good facility where she is actually making major improvements. We just had our first overnight home visit this past weekend and it went really well. You have found the perfect place for lots of advise and support. The people on this site are wonderful, full of knowledge and kind words. Good luck. Keep us posted. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
