[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 29492, member: 696"] There is something called a CINS/PINS petition. That means (child/person in need of services) basically an out of control teen/child. I used to recommend that. Then I had a mom PM me and ask me did I really know what they did? I found out that basically in my town, a CHINS petition just puts the kiddo in the system and the Jr. PO's fill out all sorts of paperwork, demand that you take the child to counseling and jump through classes and hoops. My town/state will not do what CaMom's did and put their child in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). It's just too costly. Outpatient services is all there is. Sometimes there's a partial program but unless the kiddo buys into it....they won't complete it. The gist of this is check out what your area has to offer. Stick to your gun and don't allow a driver's license until difficult child shapes up. Use the Do To Get philosophy and stick to it. It's ok if he hates you....that's your job to get him where he needs to be. If he makes it to adulthood and is able to be a productive citizen....he can come back and build a relationship with you later. Don't cave. [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
