[QUOTE="LostSF, post: 368764"] Sorry... by "boyfriend" I meant SD's birth father, not a boyfriend. We would never take her to stay at a boyfriend's house for the night under any circumstances. (I thought "boyfriend" was one of the accepted acronymns, but I guess that was from another forum... sorry for the confusion. I'll update my other posts to make it clearer) Everything I've read on running away from the "experts" on running away (e.g., missing child and pediatric websites) suggests that we need to go easy on punishment when she gets home, focus on communication and hearing the reasons why she ran. They also suggest that we need to be willing to negotiate the rules a little bit... not letting her do whatever she wants, but giving her some feeling of control (which we've taken away to a large degree because of other issues). Do people here think that's the wrong approach? [/QUOTE]
