[QUOTE="klmno, post: 472752, member: 3699"] I get that- and that's why the attny said I'd have a problem ever winning anything in court re difficult child. So, I'm not seeking retaliation. I'm looking more at it like this- no dr can cure every patient, we all know that. But would you take your kid to a pediatrician if you knew they only helped 15% of the kids they saw? I'm saying none of these people (MH profs or courts people) dealing with our difficult children are required to be transparent, for one thing, and the money being spent to throw our kids away is a heck of a lot more than it would take to provide services that probably would help at least some percentage of them. Shoot- what the system has been doing isn't working. Can we not advocate to change it? Board members here can sit here for years and years and vent how upset they are over 'this isn't working', so I'm just trying to figure out a way to improve it for us all, not just my son. Fighting for one difficult child at a time obviously isn't getting many difficult child moms on the board very far along. I don't think the 'system' is what it should be. I don't want to spend my life complaining about it and not pushing for it to change. That's just me, I guess. So much for my grassroots effort. LOL! [/QUOTE]
