[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 82534, member: 97"] Welcome, and congrats on a good job of keeping on top of your son. you have left no stone unturned. if your son is willing, and you can afford it, having him go to a locked residential treatment ctr will at least give you some peace of mind that you know where he is. I did that with my son at age 16 after he stole my car and left for 9 dys. he was so much like your son. I insisted the juvenile justice system prosecute him. he was kept for two yrs at glen mills in philadelphia. it kept him safe from his choices. not much more than that. he did get his diploma there. at that time it was so important to me that he be held and watched and forced to finish his education. I too am heartbroken still so I cannot say this all changed my son, but it gave me two yrs he was locked in. I hoped he would mature in that time and change his ways. sadly he is an alcoholic. 24 and going back to jail for his 4th DUI. I wish I could tell you there is some magic answer but I think you are on top of things. keep going to counseling yourself. be firm with your dealing with him while he is still a juvenile as you can be held responsible for his actions. I do know my son suffers from anxiety and hates to be alone at any time and that leads him to drink or choose poor companions. [/QUOTE]
