[QUOTE="DDD, post: 95303, member: 35"] I'm doing as much research and information gathering as I can and plan to lay low until after the neuro/psychiatric examination results are in. Then...if it goes poorly, I will be as prepared as I can be to make the decision on how much I can or should do to support my kid. Truthfully I believe that IF the taxpayers had any idea how much money is being spent needlessly, I would assume there would be changes...eventually. Even if you have a herd of PCs and assume that "the system" is functioning well by taking all the difficult children "away", your logic and reasoning aspects would have to say "What??" "We are paying $25,000 or so to lock up young adults who could stay in their own home with an ankle monitor for next to nothing??" " What?? We are sending young adults to prison when they have never hit, threatened, stolen, damaged etc. etc..because they had under ten prescription pills in their unoccupied automobile?" Oh well. Where we live "going public" wouldn't do a darn thing fast and would probably make things alot worse for easy child/difficult child. He already has the "veiled threat" of getting sent to prison for FIVE years if he doesn't agree to TWO years. It is scarey. DDD I do appreciate the support. Right now I am hanging in there pretty well. [/QUOTE]
