[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 746493, member: 18958"] Why can't he live with his grandparents? Is it because they are a good influence or will they not take him? Is there a chance of placement in a residential treatment center through probation, until he is 18? If his father has custody, and you have small children, is it really your problem? I understand your agony. I have a 30 year old and I am eaten up with dread and fear and guilt. But there is an objective situation here, that by his behavior your son is greatly delimited his options. You did not do that. Your hands are tied. If you did not have young children, it would be different. But what in the world can you do? Your son will have to have care. I don't remember how old he is but he does not seem a candidate for emancipation. He is not capable of caring for himself. If there is no family or residential treatment the only options I can think of would be foster care or Job Corps when he is 16, unless there is other family or friends of family that would take responsibility. But it is back to you. What in the world can you do? I do not see that you have any option at all, from what you have shared. I wish your son gets residential treatment. This could change his life. Does he have an IEP? [/QUOTE]
