[QUOTE="klmno, post: 334397, member: 3699"] Me too about the ed consultant. You haven't clarified this but I'm getting the idea that the ed cons or someone told you that they are going to kick M out- but they haven't actually put him out yet. It's just my 2 cents but I don't think you should find another placement or do anything. What is the Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s plan really- have they told you themselves? I mean, have you heard directly from them that they are releasing M in 30-45 days or something like that? Maybe they will present M with his options to choose from. It might be best if they did that instead of you. I would want my son closer to me though, if hee's not in some sort of facility, being at his age and never being on his own before. But really, whether he's living on his own or with you or in a group home probably will have no effect on whether or not he ever goes to jail. He's too old for that kind of supervision to have any effect on how he chooses to live his life, in my humble opinion. I tend to think that living on his own with some guidance in areas that he's clueless about (simply because he's never done that before and all young people need this), would be the best thing for him. He will have bumps in the road and have to suffer consequences for mistakes or messing up and probably even have to start over a couple of times- thatt's not an uncommon transition from being a teen to becoming independent.
