[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 746517, member: 18958"] If he is robbing and threatening and hurting strangers on the street, these acts would likely send him to prison if he was 18. It is hard for me to believe that he will not be sent to some sort of residential treatment through probation. That is what he needs. In terms of his comments to the PO, he is no different than the rest of us. He tries to avoid seeing himself, what he has done, and taking responsibility. This will be a lifelong process. Owning oneself. I agree with the PO. If you can visit, I believe this would be best for your child. He needs to feel that somebody is in his corner. Which does not mean that you should be subjected to his violent outbursts. Taking his side does not mean defending his bad acts or bad choices. Nor does it mean you need to take him in or do specific things for him. It means standing by him and being there. [/QUOTE]
