[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 344807, member: 1514"] Like I said before on another post, my son started out of home placements at age 11 and I have never regretted my decision. He doesnt either. Sure we ran into a couple of duds. 2 to be exact. None actually harmed my son in the least. My son actually enjoyed wilderness camp and would have stayed there happily his entire teenage life if they would have let him...lol. But then, my kids are country, outdoorsy boys. He thought the whole living in a tent, fishing, canoeing and hiking deal was fun! He didnt even mind it in snow and hurricanes. Of course, they made sure the kids were safe and if it had become too bad they would have taken them into the main cabin. He learned a lot from all his placements. He wasnt as happy at the other places but who would be? He was in a locked facility at his last placement and that really seemed to sink in most of all. Im not sorry we did this and my son has never blamed me or said a word to us about wishing we had done anything different. He has in fact, told us he knows we tried very hard with him and he was a difficult teen. He knows if we hadnt done what we did he would have been in worse shape. [/QUOTE]
