[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 328106, member: 7948"] The public school should be providing an interim placement. They can't just let him run loose - it violates the truancy laws. He should be receiving either home instruction or be in a temporary placement. I'm sorry to hear more of the background - sounds like you have done what you could and tried really hard. Also sounds like you have taken the measures you need to protect yourselves as much as possible. I would also contact all his friend's parents/families and anyone who he might have the chance to steal from and alert them to the problem. Tell them that difficult child 1 really needs their help and the best way they can help him is to file a police report if he steals, breaks things, breaks into their home or car or does other illegal things. Make it as clear as you can to them that they are NOT helping him if they cover this stuff up or ignore it. If you aren't already familiar with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and the effects of drugs on the fetus, you might follow this link to a description of the symptoms typical of a child with in utero alcohol exposure. You may find the symptoms match your stepson. [/QUOTE]
