[QUOTE="Martie, post: 59346, member: 284"] Hello, I would get him into a wildness program ASAP bec. next May, your hands will be tied. SLSH is correct: within the state of IL, you could not do this, but if you can do it in NJ, go for it in my opinion. I don't think wilderness programs are good for many things but one thing good ones do fairly well is address entitlement and teach consequences for actions. It is kind of a microcosm of what other are talking about re: natural consequences but on "fast forward" in a controlled environment. You would probably have to use transport to get him there, and choose a program that admits 17 year olds, but if it is financially feasible, I would do it. I also think he is probably very depressed. ODD seems to be the favorite depressive equivalent of some boys, and for thsi,he needs a good psychiatric evalaution and possible medications. Martie [/QUOTE]
