[QUOTE="Star*, post: 142792, member: 4964"] Hi, Welcome to the family. Have you considered a Therapeutic Foster Family? Look for a local chapter of Mentor in your area. Call them. You may find it more suitable for your son to just get out of YOUR house and into a house with highly trained people with kid to adult lowered ratios. If I had it to do all over again - I'd do just what I've done - but I don't have too many good things to say about group homes or Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s. Your son has to be the one that is willing to do the work - and most are so crowded - they (kids like ours) don't get the one on one attention they need. And as far as superior staff - Yeah - prove that one to me. PLEASE - I've asked for vitae, class courses, dates of hire and have gladly been given all - much to my chagrin later at these "wonderful" staff members. Unless the courts deem he has to be in a locked facility these types of placements are usually cheaper/more one on one attention/better knowledge of your sons situation and problems/more time/and more care. FYI Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
