[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 29446, member: 1835"] Well first of all, he probably doesn't hate YOU but your rules. He sounds SO much like my son at the same age. I don't know about letting them do what they want because, at least in CA, we're responsible for them until age 18. In my son's case, we were checking into sending him (involuntarily) to some sort of Residential Treatment Center (RTC). As it turned out, he WAS using pot (by the way, the kids can get together and each contribute $1 to get four or five of them high) and comitted a crime. The court took things out of our hands by sending him to the exact same type of place we were looking into. My son had no prior record. If your son has already been arrested, he may very well end up in the same situation. If my husband and I had it to do over again, we would have had him declared an "out-of-control juvenile" by the courts, although the end result would have probably been the same, EXCEPT he wouldn't have a crime on his record until it's sealed.
