[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 509708, member: 11001"] Welcome-and I agree you got bad advise from the lawyer. In the end, what really matters is a healthy kid. He will soon be old enough to refuse help and you may not have the help of court either to force him. My difficult child is 17 and has a long history (since 14) of treatment. She refuses most everything and seldom finishes things she starts noe. There is no longer court involvement, and she thinks she is cured, that using pot is ok. At this age you have little to force them with. Use that bond and get the best service you can. Hopefully they can find some medications. to help with the depression as well. when these kids are unmedicated it just makes things worse. As for huffing-heard somewhere (was it here?) that cooking spray could be used. IF IT CAN BE SPRAYED, LOCK IT UP. WE HAVE A LOCK ON A UTILITY CLOSET WHERE ALL medications (OTC AS WELL) AND ALL CHEMICALS ARE LOCKED AWAY. Good luck and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
