[QUOTE="slsh, post: 332240, member: 8"] I think it's important to be vigilant when you have a child placed outside the home. However, I think also that the list is not an absolute. While my difficult child isn't the poster child for successful out-of-home placements, he was in RTCs that did engage in some of these practices, with my absolute blessing. Just as an example, physically preventing him from leaving the facility - uh, yeah, absolutely. You better believe it. One of my biggest problems with his last placement is that they *didn't* prevent him from leaving. It's just an example and as with everything, things have to be taken in context. Common sense is a parent's best tool when dealing with- outside agencies/placements. If you're not comfortable or if there's some little nagging voice in your head saying something's not right, you're probably right. [/QUOTE]
