When do you feel a child needs to leave the home? When is enough enough?

[QUOTE="klmno, post: 280251, member: 3699"] I guess most on here are probably already aware, but in my case, it was when I believed difficult child was really a serious, imminent threat to his own life and/or my life and that 5 day stay in the psychiatric hospital was not curing it and I couldn't do anything else for him because the fact that he was on probation left control in the PO's hands but she refused to do anything. Now, I am not abandoning him and he can come back home WHEN/IF 1) I no longer believe he is that immenent threat to either of us, 2) I believe that the people in Department of Juvenile Justice will take action should things get to that point again, 3) I have control of my house- not difficult child or Department of Juvenile Justice, AND 4) the parole officer or gal nor anyone else is undermining my efforts with difficult child. I would put more responsibility for all this on difficult child's shoulders except that I'm the one that lived with him for several months while he deteroirated into an emotional basket case, crying and saying he needed more help, cutting himself, etc., and him still doing everything psychiatrist and therapist told him to try. PS From what I hear, there are kids who are abandoned by their parents for doing minor, misdemeanor/non-violent offenses, yet there are some who have done far worse than mine who are still welcome home just like nothing ever happened. (Whe I say "abandoned", I mean basicly disowned with parental rights and custody relinquished and no contact anymore.) [/QUOTE]
