[QUOTE="jamrobmic, post: 93364, member: 1412"] This article was on MSN a while back: [url="http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/CollegeAndFamily/RaiseKids/YourKidsTroublesCanCostYouABundle.aspx"]http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Col...YouABundle.aspx[/url] As far as kids not talking to the police, it seems to go against the way we were raised, but these days it seems to be a good idea for everyone, not just our difficult child kids. From what I've read, you don't have to be read your rights unless you're under arrest, so any info you give the police up until then can be used against you later. We reported my son as a runaway when he disappeared one night when he was 15; he returned home on his own the following day. Since we had notified the police he was a runaway, I had to notify them when he came home. The officer asked difficult child where he had been when we/they couldn't find him; he told the officer he was at a house the police had checked and hadn't found him there. So they charged him with false informing (lying to a police officer). He was locked up for that for four days, until we could make arrangements to bring him home under house arrest. His probation officer wanted him held in the juvenile detention center until his court date on truancy charges (charges we asked them to file when he skipped two days of school)-six weeks away. I think the judge took pity on me, or he would have done what the p.o. asked (they usually go with the p.o.'s recommendation). [/QUOTE]
