[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 18854, member: 1514"] Mustangchk you said it so well. Uncle Dad, I hope you didnt mean to imply that all children in out of home placement are there because of bad parenting because if that is your view, you need to spend a heck of a lot more time on your course work. I realize social workers tend to see a certain percentage of the population but that isnt representative of all children in care. My son was in group homes, many times he was the only child there that DSS didnt have custody of. I was not a perfect parent but parenting didnt cause my sons mental illness. I had many conversations with my sons case manager about the differences in girls group homes versus boys group homes. Girls homes are by far more difficult to manage. This does not mean that the kids come from bad parents but that girls are more manipulative in their behaviors than boys. Its just a fact of life. You need to talk to some psychologists, psychiatrists and some therapists that deal with children with behavior disorders and not rely on what the kids tell you. Even so called normal teens tend to think their parents are idiots during the teen years. [/QUOTE]
