[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 619493, member: 15801"] The system, is incredibly frustrating. My son sat in jail for 3 months while they looked for a placement for him. Now granted in his case they found a not great place initially which he was kicked out after a week because of his attitude....so some time in jail after that might have been good for him but still 3 months was a long and very frustrating time! I did do a lot of advocacy for him during that time and talked a lot with the drug court coordinator etc. So my advice is to keep calling, while being polite, understanding of the pressures they are under. You want their sympathy....but keep advocating for your son. My son did finally get a really good long term placement that I am very happy with and he has now been there 3.5 months! He has had an attitude there too but they have worked with him to turn it around and at least for now seem to be getting through to him. TL Sent from my iPad using ConductDisorders [/QUOTE]
