[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 511899, member: 59"] Hi tired and welcome. I am glad you found us but sorry you need to be here. How old is your son? I agree with buddy that perhaps they should have filed charges because he is getting away with too many things and it is becoming too easy for him. They would not have put him in jail and since he is a juvenile anything could be expunged in the end. I would not protect him any longer from legal consequences. You are his mom and are very worried about him, rightly so. Do whatever you can to convince the professionals you deal with that he needs help. The time for him to get help is now before he becomes a legal adult. You may want to have him tested for drugs. If he is using it becomes a while new ballgame and substance abuse treatment may be needed. If he continues on this road his behavior will escalate. Having him home durign the day while you work is not the right answer. Talk to the school and see what alternatives they can offer. You need services for your son. Sometimes the fastest way to get those are to stop rescueing him. Nancy [/QUOTE]
