[QUOTE="bran155, post: 241721"] Denita, My daughter has Borderline Personality Disorder, among other things. But that is what is most prevelant. It is true, things will not get any better unless she wants them to. My daughter has been in 3 rtcs. The first one was through the Board of Ed, they paid for it. The other 2 the state paid for. She had gotten arrested while on one of her awols from her first placement. That's how we ended up in court. Here in ny when a child is arrested they are automatically given a Probation Officer. The po does an investigation into what the child needs to get back on track. If they have mental illness, abuse in the home, drug addiction......etc. If they are determined to have issues then the PO recommends to the judge that the child be placed into either an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or day treatment. From there you are given a case manager from DSS. The PO hands the case over to DSS and the case manager finds an appropriate Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for the child. Depending on your income the state will either pay for all of it or sue you for child support. I got sued and owe NY state almost $4,000. Which really isnt much considering it costs the state $219 per day for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). She was away for about 18 months. I still couldn't afford the child support though, they didn't seem to care. Sad to say nothing worked for my daughter. She will be 18 in 2 weeks. She has been to jail twice and just keeps regressing. Her life will not get any better until she wants it to. I know how hard this is on you and that you want the best for her. At this point her age works against you. They probably won't do anything for her that she isn't willing to participate in. Try your best to detach as much as possible. You can only do so much. Hang in there and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
