Well he did it. awoke to find difficult child missing and a note about how I was 'clinically insane'. Went to pd, then to juvie at courthouse. Then to pd in the town where the girlfriend lives. They went to her house. She told them he was in a frat house at a nearby college.
Took less than six hours. We poke to police personnel most all afternoon. It is, of course, all my fault because (1) I don't want him to be friends with truants and people on probation and (2) I won't let him go be 'happy'. He admitted no guilt at all in anything. They tried, but finally gave up as he wasn't listening.
As soon as we got home, he started slamming doors and throwing things. I just took him back to the police station. Before we went in, he changed and said he would behave. And, for tonight, he did.
He has been enrolled in classes starting Saturday after next. The program has a good rep. It comes with weekly individual counseling which I will set up tomorrow. He has an appointment with our youth counselor tomorrow.
His car is gone. He already lost his cell phone. I will continue to lock up everything. He is to get up and ride the bus to school in the morning. Gonna be a long weekend around here....
My plan is to take the money from the car and toss him into a wilderness/ boot camp program if this continues. Juvie is full so they won't take runaways. I have been fighting major health issues and I cannot continue to deal with this stress at this level without risking my life. I need a professional.
It hurts so much to hear him talk about how he loves this girl he didn't know two months ago. That he is willing to give up EVERYTHING for her.
His best friend, whom I thought was working to help him, lied to me this morning and said he didn't know where he was - difficult child had called him from the frat house four times. Class 3 felony which he is aware of. So, tomorrow, I'm calling his mom to explain how she can check his cell records and learn the truth.
I don't trust any of them. Period.
On a good note, it is amazing how many people come to your aid when something like this happens. I feel truly loved and blessed.
Am praying someone can talk some sense into the boy...
