[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 59114, member: 1835"] Traci and Karen--of course you're right. I can see how his behavior in certain situations where he is correlates with similar situations that will undoubtedly occur once he's home. His responses are very closely looked at by the staff who report them to the program coordinator who summarizes for the probation officer. She, in turn, quite rightly, assumes that, if he loses his temper and starts using profanity with staff, he'll do the same thing once he's home. If he continues to be a "follower," i.e., letting himself be talked into stupid stunts like climbing out a window to go have a cig in the backyard, he'll have the same and perhaps even more serious problems once he's home. In fact, this sort of thing is what got him placed where he is to begin with! So, I believe that, until he shows more maturity and growth, he's definitely better off where he is where professionals are helping him rather than back with us, especially since he'll be 18 in another month...
