[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 571232, member: 1550"] Ok :) going to defend my country here. We are huge. The fact is there are a lot of children who are so dangerous they can't live at home or they will actually hurt people, let alone live in society at large. No juvie? Then where? I am going to make believe that Suzir lives in, say, Norway, a small country of mostly the same culture. I'm sure they don't have our problems, or the magnitude of our problems. The two countries most certainly are going to have to deal with problems differently. Also, I'll be devil's advocate here. difficult children and PCs are sort of from two different worlds. Should our PCs be forced to be influenced by the difficult children? It goes two ways. I raised a difficult child who did drugs. She was in trouble all the time. I don't really know the answer. In her case, she wasn't interested in school activities so there was nothing to motivate her to maybe try to do better. If there was? I don't know how I'd feel. But in the US, we do have children who are criminals. I lived with one. He was the kid who had sex with my daughter and stole and killed animals and was a danger to everyone he met. He was 13. What in the world do you do with that? I feel we are obligated to protect other kids from him. He did get mental health care while he was in a sort of criminal residential and it didn't work...he was too far gone. But it would have been worse, having him out on the streets to perp on other children. Obviously underage drinking is not in the same category as what he did, but kids don't go to RTCs just for that . Ok, off my soapbox! [/QUOTE]
