[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 123322, member: 3907"] If difficult child had access to any of his documents, they would have been lost a long time ago, or he would have cut them up as part of a craft project, or something. So...I have all of the originals locked in the file cabinet. I have scanned copies of each document stored on my computer, with backup copies on husband's computer and our server. difficult child's staff have a folder with printed copies of his documents, which are in a locked cupboard in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). If difficult child needs them for some reason, the staff carry them. difficult child just never gets his hands on them. We tried last summer. We gave difficult child a little wallet in which to keep copies of all his ID. He promptly ran it through the wash, ruining all of the documents. We made another copy and laminated it, so that it would be waterproof. He cut out the pictures of his face to use in a craft project. At that point, we gave up. An 18-year-old who cuts up his ID so that he can glue his face on a collage poster should not have access to his own documents. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
