[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 35741, member: 2459"] If you have a juvenile facility in your area, you can call and ask if they give tours. Sometimes even if they don't officially, sometimes you'll get an understanding soul who will give you an "unofficial" tour. Sometimes, you even get a good reaction from your child after the tour. I did the same thing with my son when he was around 12. It made an impact on him in the moment, but pretty much as soon as the place was out of site it was out of mind for him. Since then, he's been there officially 2 or 3 times and it hasn't done a thing. Granted, our local juvie facility is pretty mild, relatively speaking, but still. I don't want to pull the rug out from underneath you but sometimes this stuff just doesn't get through. I hope it works for you, but just keep in mind that sometimes it doesn't. [/QUOTE]
