[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 73762, member: 1498"] Why? If you think "someone [needs] to follow him around 24/7 when he decides to go flat, or explode, and teach him how to deal with that differently" and you thought that would happen there you were expecting far too much. Those places have staff who have their hands full running the household, programs and dealing with a houseful(or caseload) of kids with problems -- many, as you have noted, more severe than Dylan's. It's like most other places in the world -- the squeaky wheel gets the oil. If anyone led you to believe that he would get continuous one-on-one treatment, s/he should lose her job. And frankly, parents aren't always highly respected by staff at places like that. The idea lingers that most kids are there because of bad parenting. [/QUOTE]
