[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 395459, member: 6370"] MWM, in the state of Maine a parent's hands are tied by the laws. I think that the laws are very lenient toward teens due to the abundance of child abuse cases. A pediatrician told me he had never seen so many cases in his career. That's why my difficult child's friends convinced him to attempt emancipation. I felt like a hostage there. I had rules and boundaries which were not enforced by the laws. I really feel for this mom! Our counselor TOLD us to pay the boys for doing their own laundry, $1 to wash it, $1 to dry it!!! Their shrink TOLD me that I HAD to let them get their License "because it was part of their maturation process"!!! [/QUOTE]
