[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 279993, member: 6747"] She entered what they local court system calls the "Empowered parent program" because difficult child was facing a stint in juvie and she would be billed for his time (I wonder why they do that as parents are not encourged to help when they are charged hundreds of dollars for their child when they turn them in). So the court allowed her to enter the program which consist of parenting classes and the weekend wilderness program with a jail tour included. I googled and found the homepage of [URL="http://www.campconsequence.com/"][COLOR="Blue"]Camp Consequence[/COLOR][/URL]. She has to be up at 4:30 Saturday morning and take part in all the tasks. The only different between parents and children are that parents can bring snacks if they hide them from the children. It is an alternative way of doing things, but it is court approved etc. It is also cheap and while I could be tempted because I have too few money for a residential program and asking the police would be equal to loosing my child to system, I would absolutely fear going to jail even if it is only for a part of the day.
