[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 87228, member: 1545"] Hi NOLA~ I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Our daughter ran away twice when she returned home from her Residential Treatment Center (RTC) ... in our state there is nothing you can do about a 16 year old run away. At 16 they have the legal right to leave your home. When I called the police there was nothing they could do unless they picked her up for breaking a law. My prayer for your son is that while he is gone he will come to the realization that life at home is pretty good. Sometimes our kids require a little distance to see things more clearly. My suggestion would be to be ready to welcome him home ... by that I mean have your 'plan' in place when he comes strolling home. It won't catch you quite off guard that way. When our daughter finally returned home, we had the rules down on paper. She was ready to play by the rules ... finally. Again I am so sorry. [/QUOTE]
