[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 74606, member: 3450"] Hi Kathy, I know someone mentioned PINS. We had that filed on our dtr--she had a probation officer to report to and was required to follow the rules of our house. She didn't and she eventually was arrested and sent to a dual diagnosis facility (she was doing drugs and had mental health issues). I do know that in NY state you as a parent are supposed to know where your under 18 age kid is. We got so sick of reporting ours missing each time she just didn't come home for a day or 2 but the one time we decided not to report her someone called CPS on us. The CPS people were very understanding--they knew we could not control this kid and as the cps worker said, "if you tied her up we'd be out here investigating you for that." Still, we had to report her missing. In our case the cops also were very understanding. Many times when she was younger (15 and 16) they would talk to her, try to tell her how lucky she was to have parents who care about her, try to tell her how bad it would or could be in jail for her (she is only 4'11" and 95 lbs). None of it made any difference but I felt that both cps and the cops knew what they were dealing with and did not blame us in any way. I sure do feel for you--this brings back unpleasant memories!
