[QUOTE="Janna, post: 236225, member: 2737"] My oldest son just completed a 6 month Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) stay. He was put in there through court, by his P.O., because of several probation violations (which had nothing to do with home, really - all theft, but his issues here were getting troublesome, too, so I asked, and he went). Now, our County is paying for the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) because probation put him there. But, let me tell you what they do. They file for child support - through Domestic Relations, against the parent. Oh, yes - they do. And, throughout B's stay, I have been charged $400 a month, every month. And, if I can't afford to pay it, I get summoned into court for contempt (and I was...so yes, it happens). Then, they'll be nice and let you go - after you promise to pay. And, if you still cannot continue to pay the child support, then you get another pretty letter, which is a sentencing for the contempt you couldn't pay. If you place your child voluntarily into the Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) then I don't know how much that is. My son is on state insurance (we're in PA, so that's Unison), so his entire Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) was paid. He's on this because he gets SSI Disability due to the neurological disorders he has. But, I have heard it can run something crazy, like $2500 a day? LOL! Geez. [/QUOTE]
