[QUOTE="Stef, post: 253630, member: 6657"] My son was arrested last summer for an outside the family issue with several other morons. He received court supervision for his efforts, and it has taught him a lesson. He tends to stop and think more now because he knows if he screws up, he's back in front of the Man. The court will most likely put your difficult child into programs to help with the behavior, psychiatric workups, possible Residential Treatment Center (RTC), amongst other things. Don't expect overnight miracles, and watch out for lip service from difficult child. They'll say anything to get out of a program. You'll think difficult child has "seen the light." My difficult child got arrested AFTER completing an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) stay. After the arrest he started to put it all together. We're actually thankfull it happened, as it has locked into a regimen. Get out of line, and the State intervenes. As parents of a Juvenille, we had to sign up to ratting on him if he get's out of line, or we can face the Man. You bet we're not gonna cut him any slack- and he knows it! He still has moments, but we now have some good cards to play when those moments arise. As an aside, I don't condone involving the State unless absolutely necessary. The consequences can be severe. Some kids just don't get it any other way though. [/QUOTE]
