[QUOTE="bzymomto4, post: 119013, member: 4477"] They don't all make it easy, that's for sure. In NY a PINS petition stands for a person in need of supervision. A judge hears the petition and makes the ruling. If they are put on PINS, then they may start out living at home. They have a court appointed person responsible for keeping the rules set by the judge enforced. The rules are what you would expect - no illegal activity, no truency, follow house and school rules, cerfew. If they break them then you aren't fruitlessly punishing a kid who will do anything to challenge your authority. There comes a point when , if the infractions are severe enough then the consequence may be a group home for an assigned period of time. My brother really made me question using this method because the problems of kids on PINS can have a wide range of sevarity. I didn't do it at the time, but I'm not sure if I completely agree with his point of view. If I understood everything correctly then I believe even when the child lives with you, the court is the legal guardian until the issues are resolved. [/QUOTE]
