[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 217453, member: 1233"] I think almost EVERY kid complains that their parents are too involved and TTO careful in wanting to know where they are and what they are doing. He may hate it, but esp as he is on probaation he NEEDS it. So what if he thinks you are overprotective. You are being a good parent, ignore his complaints on this as much as you can. As for having the myspace, the email AND using YOUR cc to buy things - change the credit card - call and say it was lost and you need a new one. Delete the myspace, the email and the games, then lock the computer with a heavy duty password that is a combination of letters and numbers that you DO NOT WRITE DOWN. The consequence for the myspace and email and theft needs to be NO COMPUTER for the forseeable future. because inthe eyes of cyberspace 13 is old enough to do pretty much whatever you want. And he has proven he will not follow rules. About school attendance, run him by the doctor then drop him at school. You may have to just take him to school and refuse to pick him up for a while. It is really hard. We went through it with Wiz. And eventually we had to just take him and make him stay, even if he barfed. (No one EVER saw him barf, even people in the restroom at the same time, so we were pretty sure he DIDN't barf but he would alway say he did because then he would have to be out for 24 hours by school policy) I am sorry. But if he gets into attendance troubles the PO is going to come down hard and so is the judge. The whole situation stinks, and maybe he needs to see a psychiatrist for the depression. [/QUOTE]
