[QUOTE="klmno, post: 355846, member: 3699"] Oh- as far as a foster home (therapeutic or not)- that's out because it has to be done thru dss and the dss rep told me and GAL last year that there is a law now, not just a policy, that dss HAS to send any kid coming into their system to a family member before trying any other avenue at all if they can find a family member willing. My bro already has himself listed as wanting custody of difficult child. Now, it would bee a foster care placement if that happened and therefore, legally require that the goal be to return gfgg home. But since my bro lives hundreds of miles away, in a different state, the chances of difficult child ever returning home while still a minor are slim to none. Of course that solves the problem of everyone in our system here- difficult child would be out of sight and out of mind and not on their budget- I would be paying CS to my bro for difficult child's care. If you want to call it "care"- you all know what I think would happen to difficult child at my bro's- if he didn't run away first. This has made me wonder if maybe the defense attny has been behind difficult child being placed in dss to begin with. Mainly because they can't put difficult child in there for no reason unless I relenquish him but they have been tying to propose things they know I'm not in agreement with for 3 years now- so maybe they are intentionally backing me in a corner until I relinquish difficult child. Seriously, if 3-4 years of outpatient therapy while on probation didn't fix things before, why would it now? Let's not forget that difficult child was in therapy when he pulled the knife on me. Or that when mental health profs or detention (with our mental heealth dept's liason) sent difficult child to a psychiatric hospital and the psychiatric hospital psychiatrist said difficult child needed a psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and submitted the form to the liason, the liason from our mental health dept refused to sign it because the PO told her she wanted difficult child to go to Department of Juvenile Justice instead. So exaactly why should we go thru this again? because the goal is just to get difficult child out of detention now? I have a call into PO now. [/QUOTE]
