[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 715549, member: 21895"] I hear you RN. I have to ask my American friends to clarify some program and service acronyms for me. Bottom line in Ontario (as all provincial and territory laws are different. Which is a collosal waste of health Care and government $$ for a county population = to the state of California). The child can choose to leave at 16. You can not legally kick them out until they are 18. The youth justice act makes in nearly impossible to incarcerate youth unless they have a long criminal history and have committed a serous crime (murder, assault with a deadly weapon....). You can not force them into rehab (but going by force would not help anyway). They get probation and no jail time after you weave your way through the lengthy court process. If they breach probation they can be diverted to a program called Project DARE it is an intensive in house drug rehab and behavior treatment program. They have to agree to go vs going to jail. They spend a minimum of 60 days and can be kept up to 6 months. They have an incredible track record of success. There is a similar program called PIne River that is a co pay program. We have offered this to our son before having him arrested; and he has declined. We have steered clear of the private rehabs as they are very expensive and have very poor track records of success.
