[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 466144"] Oh I feel for you. I am not sure what I would do in your shoes. My son was at a TBS for 16 months when he was 16....it helped for awhile. He certainly learned some things and he did a lot better for awhile when he got back... but then things went way down hill again. So part of me wonders if it was worth all the expense but then I think, hey it kept him safe for those 16 months... not sure where he would be if he had not gone there. And he did learn some stuff that when he is doing well I think he can put into use.. So I just don't know if it is worth it or not for your daughter. One other thought is for you to contact the juvenile court system and ask them what your options are. In some states you can put a CHINS (child in need of services) on your child and they will pick them up if they are not obeying the rules or missing curfew etc. I have known situations where they do an out of home placement.... so I think that is what I would do is call the juvenile court and ask what options you have for a minor who absolutely will not obey any of the rules at home. Good luck and keep us posted. TL [/QUOTE]
