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

[QUOTE="Sagegrad, post: 280416, member: 6481"] The decision to place our child in a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) came only after realizing her instability made it impossible for us to keep her safe from herself. Her level of violence had escalated to the point she was hurting herself. There are no other siblings at home so that was not a factor. That being said, we are extremely active in her Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and her treatment there. We go to weekly therapy sessions and she has just started overnight visits on the weekend. We also speak nightly on the phone. We are possibly looking at her being transitioned home the beginning of August, so for us I am 100% positive we made the right choice. The ability of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) to stabilize her medications and give her intensive daily therapy has made all the difference. Not the same situation as a lot of the older kids on the board, but just my input about making the decision to remove my child from the home. [/QUOTE]
