[QUOTE="klmno, post: 336052, member: 3699"] From my pessimistic view and experience with difficult child, I'll play devil's advocate for a second- (mind you, I smoke so I'm not saying this is a horrible idea Linda has, I just want her to think thru where it could lead and make sure it doesn't lead there)- What if Linda provides cigs and kt gets arrested for something else a few months down the road and a GAL is assigned who learns that kt is being provided cigs by Linda. This can end up with GAL in court telling the judge that Linda's home is not healthy or good for kt because she was caught out doing ABC and Linda provides cigs so who knows what else Linda is allowing kt to do? And again, in some states this can land a parent a charge for contributing to the delinquency of a minor or something else. Linda, I'm just suggesting you make sure YOUR butt is covered before doing this. I think the ideas about talking to a policeman and psychiatrist or therapist are good ones- this [I]should[/I] be enough to keep yourself covered if need be in the future. [I]I edited this after getting food in a slow-cooker and having a few more minutes to clarify.[/I] [/QUOTE]
