[QUOTE="ksm, post: 715533, member: 12511"] I don't know those agencies, but we are in a similar predicament. Jan/Feb Difficult Child age 16, ran off for several days at a time. I always reported her missing. When picked up by police...positive for meth. I tried to leave her in the youth shelter, as the workers there suggested. Then she would go before judge before returning home. The next day, the DA office calls and tells me to pick her up. I tried to decline, saying I could not keep her safe. He threatened me with child abandonment if I did not. Long story, condensed version. Difficult Child now 17. Not running away, but still positive for meth. I found and have her in an intensive outpatient rehab, 3 hours a day, 3 times a week x 8 weeks. Each trip is 100 miles round trip. Now court services officer is requesting the judge brings her back to court. What next? I have heard it might be a one month residential treatment, or out of home placement. The court services officer said the court has taken away all the consequences he used to be able to do. Like weekend lock ups, community service, ankle bracelet device. I feel caught in the middle, the judge expects me to keep her from drugs. At AlAnon I am learning I can not control the addict. I hope what ever happens next will force her to decide she doesn't want to continue the path she is on. Ksm [/QUOTE]
