[QUOTE="Incredible, post: 204319, member: 6067"] Wow! So many people in the same tough spot. How do I do the PINS thing and what is it? I must say he was totally sweet and a good friend to me until he began socializing as a teen and just started out with the wrong friends at around age 12. He changed literally overnight. I went from "normal kid" to Angry teen with a Mohawk and studded leather jacket in roughly 36 hrs. I found out someone(?) in a park had cut his hair and tried to peirce his lip with a darning needle. He had also been convinced that parents are bad and that "they can't do anything to thier kids or child protection services will sue them" From then on, I would try to follow him and monitor what he does - but it was impossible to do this and still work to provide for us. The police have been involved several times for curfew and drug possession but have not been helpful. They definately blame me for being a single mom. We have been through out patient treatment twice and have been through all the parent/teen drug education seminars. My son knows all this but chooses to follow the druggies anyway. He is only 15. He just had 4 kids(one 17, one 18, one 16 and one 15) show up here at 10am (Saturday). I heard them go upstairs to his room (right across from my room) and I listened. They were talking about what they could see around the house that they could pawn for money to buy pot today. I went in and told them they were not going to pawn anything in this house and asked them to leave. [/QUOTE]
