[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 332342, member: 1514"] I think SLSH, Timer Lady, Star, and I have probably had the most experience with out of home placements if I have pulled all my memories together from the board. I may be missing a member or two but the three of us have had our kids out of our homes for most of their young lives. Cory started his rotation with out of home placements when he went to wilderness camp a month after his 11th birthday and he was there for 16 months. After that he was in at least 7 group homes if I recall correctly, 2 psychiatric hospitals and one psychiatric residential treatment facility and one therapeutic foster home. Out of all of those, we had two "bad" experiences. One was slightly bad and one was really bad. The slightly bad one didnt really involve Cory but the group home was shut down while he was there due to the criminal behavior of one of the group home owners. He was the on site manager at night and was arrested that night so the home was closed and we had to pick up Cory at midnight or he would be sent to juvy. Not fun...lol. The other extremely bad situation was the therapeutic foster home where a gay male couple was doing this fostering. I didnt have a problem with this until we walked into the home and found one boy Cory's age and 4 boys around 6 or 7 years old. Cory was almost 17 at the time. The house was spotless with all these glass nicknacks around and no toys and nothing out of place. Hmmm. And they had difficult child's? This place was long distance to call for me so I gave Cory this text message thing like a pager so he could email me. AT ANY TIME. It was agreed in the foster care plan that he was to have access to this pager thing at all times for him to have this with him so he could email me whenever he wanted to. Well the second night Cory was there this foster dad asked Cory to come watch tv in the bedroom with him. Uh...can we say inappropriate? The guy was in his boxers. The guy also took his pager thingy. When Cory didnt answer his pager thingy from me, I called his case manager and demanded a meeting asap. Cory told what happened. The guy denied it of course, but I pulled him and told them I wanted an investigation. I called CPS too. Who knows what happened. [/QUOTE]
