[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 154686, member: 3208"] This really angers me--I could easily have been that father! My difficult child 1 would take the bus to school and then just leave. She would walk out of classes if she felt like it--the teachers were not allowed to stop a kid from leaving. I guess the good thing is we had filed a PINS (person in need of supervision) on her so she had a probation officer who knew what was going on and could see we were doing everything we could to make her go to school and follow our rules. She ended up getting a GED at one of her rehabs but if we had pressured her to do that I bet she would not have done it. It was all her own idea--it was something she wanted for herself. I sure wish that judge had a difficult child of his own to deal with--let him see how easy it is to "control" an 18 year old! And what does this teach anybody? Basically it teaches the 18 year old that she is not responsible for her actions, her father is! Oh, I am just steaming! Jane [/QUOTE]
