[QUOTE="country, post: 733775, member: 20890"] Yes, tragic! A week left! I think he doesn't know when enough really means enough. I also think he lacks any sort of identity. If he is around kids who are doing good things, he will too. If he is around kids doing bad things, he will too. Boys Town's program was excellent, but it's also got a "prison" culture and there is a ton of bad behavior that happens. My son lacks any social skills and has difficulty making friends - he takes whoever accepts him. That right there is his downfall - when other kids are rioting and causing problems, he joins in too. Not in violent ways, as happens there, but he can be a royal pain in the butt and cause plenty of chaos. And he did. My prayer is that he finds enjoyment in a job and something within himself that allows him some strength to not be a puppet or a follower. [/QUOTE]
