[QUOTE="Andy, post: 187344, member: 5096"] I think I am going to move to Nebraska with my two kids. And when is husband considered? Can we go by years of marriage for his age? (Oh wait, he still doesn't qualify) Just kidding! I had better stay as far away from there as I can get - I may do something I regret in one of those not-so-favorite moments. I may have done this with easy child when she was about 11 - 12 years old if I knew it was an option. I can see where it would be helpful to have a safe haven for kids. However, I really think the best thing for the child is the parents asking for help, not abandoning their kid. The parent needs to be able to find someone to give info so that they can make the decisions of medications, Residential Treatment Center (RTC), etc. A problem would be that parents don't want to admit they need help and would rather have a way to just walk away. Maybe there needs to be more promoting of help for parents. Not everyone knows what resources are available to help difficult children. I know I didn't know where to start when easy child was being a difficult child. I couldn't stand her anymore. Wouldn't it be great if all new parents had to attend a class on community resources before leaving the hospital? A pamplet on where to turn and what criteria is needed for certain things (like head start - what is needed to get accepted)? And this phamplet could be sent home each year that school starte? I guess I am not sure what to think either. Very sad if ever used. [/QUOTE]
