[QUOTE="LoneStar14, post: 144842, member: 4947"] We took it away and though we hid it where it couldn't be found. To difficult child's credit, it was only used one day when we found out a whole bunch of stuff that was going on with some friends. difficult child was trying to find out how his friend was doing. He hasn't used it since. No extra time was being run up. Its same-provider calls and texting covered under one plan. The cost isn't a concern (its all covered under a family plan) as much as him thinking that he can stay up all hours (calls up to 1-2 a.m.) of the night and not getting any sleep. From there it would be he could do whatever he wanted as long as he paid for it. difficult child would earn the phone back "legally" by us giving it to versus him just taking it. Advisor is a spiritual advisor we're working with along with the medical professionals. difficult child is 15. diagnosis ADHD--emphasis on highly hyperactive. Until the new and disturbing developments over the weekend, I would have said ODD. Since there's but a cut-off with these friends, he's been more like his old self with normal ADHD difficult child issues. I was so proud of myself that that I didn't overreact and just yank the line. But then I thought about how he showed restraint and he was trying to get hold of his friend. This was the day that the *@!# hit the fan and a whole bunch of stuff came out. He's back to his old self and we're getting therapy to help us work out through the other issues. [/QUOTE]
