[QUOTE="Star*, post: 119685, member: 4964"] UPDATE AND INTERESTING ITEM FIRST thank you so much for all the support and well wishes (MB the flowers were lovely thank you) and the positive reinforcement statements about Dudes growth. I know he has grown - and I'm not saying this program couldn't have worked - and Daisy - I believe in it is what it is too - so I'm only making suggestions at this point - and I'm glad for Dudes growth really - BUT fact remains - I won't have him living somewhere that he doesn't feel safe at when he has no choice as he's 17. With the statements that were made the other day from the other young men there and things that I've been told - it isn't a good program fit for Dude. The fact that this man is doing or not doing - can be put under investigation. But I'm not letting someone elses kid sit there - and be afraid of his peers. The caseworker is going up there Thursday - they are having an emergency case-file meeting tomorrow... They will decide where he goes from there - and I said I would NOT accept him being placed FAR FAR away again. too much stress. I wanted to state - for any newbies reading - I am NOT a rush in and fix it Mom - haven't been for a long time. So this is not the case here. Dude called me this morning to say that the man that owns the place asked him if he wanted to go to school today - and he went. They have told the caseworker they can't get him up for school. Dude said that is a load. He likes school - he isn't working and it's his ONLY way to get socialization. Dude also asked me if I had called or if CW had called the place. I said not that I know of. He said it was funny because before he went to school he said someone had called the house mgr. and the conversation made Dude believe that someone else is trying to get put out of there. Two other boys said they called their parents and said they want out - and told their parents whats going on. AMAZING coincidence? Or fact. I told caseworker about the yelling, and intimidation - and what Dude did to the house mgr with the phone and he said "Did he get on the phone?" and I said "no." then cw said "I don't blame him - I don't like to get on the phone with you when you're upset either - because I KNOW you're right - I just can't do much about it, and you are really a VERY direct person. You ain't shy - that's for sure." (nooooo Meeeeee?) YA THINK? (small violins play a concerto) [/QUOTE]
