[QUOTE="klmno, post: 285286, member: 3699"] Actually, the stuff with fumes wasn't found in his room. I found one can in the yard and one in the "game room". He didn't get to the point with fire that would be considered a pyro, but let's face it, he had set a brush fire 2 years ago and did play with fire like other boy's his age have been caught doing. (Yes, most in this neighborhood do play with it.) One interesting thing, he told me last week that he set the brush fire accidentally by throwing cigs on the ground. This is the first time I've ever heard that story so I don't know if it's a lie because he's trying to get out of incarceration sooner rather than later, or if it's the truth. It's not like him to wait 2 years before confessing up to something with me. on the other hand, I know he had been sneaking off and on and smoking for quite some time. He told me that he didn't tell anyone before that the fire was caused by cigs because he figured he would get into even more trouble for smoking. I'm going to ask the parole officer if he can get difficult child into a preventative type substance abuse program upon his release. Not a live-in treatment place, but some classes or something. The military used to have some real good ones- they covered dysfunctional families, self-esteem and self-medicating, and the whole picture that plays into it. I feel so naive and bad for not thinking about the pencil sharpeners before. But then, he used a pice of countertop in the psychiatric hospital and his fingernail in detention. [/QUOTE]
