[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 537551, member: 1514"] Hey there and welcome to the board. Im not sure where you live but I get the feeling you live near NY. I hope you dont live in NY. If so, that makes things much harder for you. One thing you need to think about is how close to 18 is your son. That makes a huge difference. Honestly if your age of majority is 18 in your state and he is fairly close to it, I would simply refuse to let him come home. CPS likes to threaten they will take your other kids but they really dont want to because they are so overbooked as it is and they dont have homes for the foster kids that are already in the system. The last thing they need is kids from good homes. I would agree to work with social workers or anyone else they can find to help them find some sort of independent living skills placement so he can learn to function in society because he will never again live with you and he has to have skills to live in the real world.
