[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 221487, member: 6370"] Janebrain, I think there are many different Americas. The community in which we raised our difficult children used to have manufacturing (sleds and snowshoes), a cannery, a tannery, jobs that gave people a sense of pride and purpose. Often these jobs were filled by generations of the same families. These jobs have now all gone overseas and the towns are left with despair. There is a lot of parental neglect and disinterest because there is no sense of hope for the future and children are the future. Many boys knocked on our door late at night asking for a place to stay. I always insited that the child call the parent in my presence to tell him/her he was okay and at a home with adult supervision. When MY child ran away (often) not a single call was made to my home to tell us he was alive and well. I did not mean to offend, we are not drug users either and difficult child shot up heroin, used coke, etc... BECAUSE OF PEER PRESSURE. [/QUOTE]
