[QUOTE="Shari, post: 152612, member: 1848"] We had some minor run-in's with the law when difficult child 1 was young - probably 8 or 9. I had a friend who was a deputy sheriff. difficult child, thanks to bio mom, didn't think jail was all that bad, so my friend set up a tour of jail, complete with an incarcerted recovering addict's stage show while difficult child was present. This man got hooked on meth and was nearing the end of his second 2 year sentence. He was on work release, but spent all free time in jail. At home, he had a wife and kids, and my friend said he's a man who really wants his life back, and was willing to help make a scene that we all hoped would deter difficult child from thinking jail wasn't so bad. This man did a beautiful job, too. Talked to difficult child thru the cell bars for a while, then later, staged a way-too-realistic attack of mania. difficult child recalls it to this day (tho doesn't know it was staged). Jail was suddenly not the place to go. I beleive he's part of the reason difficult child stopped the stealing at that time. We needed to repeat the lesson when he got hsi liscense, but hey...it worked while it lasted and it lasted a while. [/QUOTE]
