[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 555744, member: 6705"] This says it all, doesn't it? LACK OF RESOURCES. Fact of the matter is - if your kid is "unruly" like our difficult children in a rage, usually the police won't do anything. If there is a [I]chance[/I] the kid is on drugs, nothing. I had one cop say that a juvenile "just about has to murder someone for them to have us take them in". We had a violent child arrested, cuffed, released back to our custody and then the next day sent to psychiatric hospital because she said she had tried to commit suicide. So - if they released her back to us - raging - and she had succeeded... [/QUOTE]
