[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 538042"] I agree with what others have said.... and really at this point you have to protect the younger kids. I would listen to DSS and ask them to help you with Department of Juvenile Justice.... maybe they can write a letter for you saying that bringing home the older son puts the other kids at a serious safety risk. The state wants you to bring him home because they don't want to pay for some kind of placement... systems often don't want to work together but in this case you have two state systems that are telling you opposite things... so try to get those two systems to talk to each other. I feel bad for your son and for you and your husband as this is a very very painful position to be in.... but really I think your priority has to be your younger children and their safety. The 17 year old is already a mess.... and being placed in foster care or dealing with more violence will be traumatic for the younger kids and could mess them up too. So do what you can to protect them. TL [/QUOTE]
