[QUOTE="NOLA, post: 67174, member: 3515"] AllStressedOut - Thanks - our state is the same about reporting the runaways - think positive about your little ones - they don't all end up taking it to the extreme ! C.J. - From one "parent failure" to the other - I'm right there with you. You can't help feeling that way - it doesn't matter how much we love them & appeal to the common sense of it all- they are hell bent in doing it their own way period. He sees no value of getting a formal education; does not see why he can't smoke weed; etc. He has everything figured out and we are just in the way. He's on probation cause we asked the court to flag his 3rd runaway - at that time he was skipping school, already been to rehab, etc., but hadn't committed a crime! SO, long story short, they put him on probation till he's 18 but it hasn't had any effect on him - he was ordered to keep his pt job, he hasn't, stop all drugs, hasn't, just spent 15 days in the juvie center, no biggie! I'm afraid our only solution is to either put up with his antics till he is 17 - if and when he comes home or go back to the "system" and turn him over. THis is a nightmare!! [/QUOTE]
