[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 346288, member: 7083"] I could have been reading about difficult child 2. When he's destructive and/or violent call the police. When/if he runs, call the police. He's leaving you little recourse and you can get help for him through the juvenile justice system. Once he reaches 18 (17 in some states), it's big boy jail and they're not as interested in doing rehab. difficult child 2 was put into foster care - ran from several times. Then in a therapeutic program - ran from 3 times (one time stealing a car to do so). Then they put him in a lockdown Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that was dual diagnosis, meaning it is geared for drug abuse and mental illness. You're running out of time with how much influence you'll be able to have and how much help you'll be able to give - force - on him. Once he's 18, there's not much you can do. [/QUOTE]
