[QUOTE="klmno, post: 478885, member: 3699"] [I][/I] That's what I'd like to see- actually, use the threat of going back to Department of Juvenile Justice but then if difficult child messes up but not so greatly as using a knife, if he just starts pushing the limits too much, then it's the group home that he actually gets instead of all the in-detention-out of detention revolving door koi that he got last year until he landed himself back in Department of Juvenile Justice. Just to clarify, I do realize that this program has more, like a caseworker, it's just that they don't seem to have more that addresses the bigger concerns for my difficult child specifically- like sneaking out at night- in their group home. No one is awake all night and he wouldn't be on an ankle bracelet. My difficult child was sneaking out at night and also leaving school after 1st period and roaming the streets all day. All their people can't stop him from doing that, and the lady acknowledged that. The ONLY thing that helps difficult child get caught for this is the ankle bracelet. I REALLY love the idea that a mentor picks difficult child up at the end of family therapy- that would be perfect because he'd have a male role model to talk to about it if he wanted to. Or, they could go do something fun if difficult child needed a pep talk or just to get his mind onto something else. That would be an issue with coordinating a therapist's schedule with a mentor's schedule, but something to shoot for, definitely. difficult child might even be able to maintain if his mentor was going to be picking him up an hour or so after we got home...maybe.
