[QUOTE="klmno, post: 410324, member: 3699"] I think this is beyond CHINS, in my humble opinion, and I think that's what he meant when he said because the teen is already in juvie for breaking the law, they don't need to file for that. Different states handle this stuff differently although they seem to be handling it a lot more similarly since no one hsa funding anymore. MST was all they would offer mine even though he;d been in a psychiatric hospital 6 times and Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was recommended for him, too- for different reasons. Here, a ward of the state means 1 of 2 things- he either gets put in the custody of Department of Juvenile Justice or dss. While in juvie detention, they are not considered a ward of the state. I think you should go to dss or call juvie intake and asked the procedure for filing for "relief of custody" with dss. Even though that means dss takes custody, many states have you file at juvie intake office. I'd start that process. In the meantime, if he gets returned home, you can call police and file charges any time he becomes physically agreessive, is out in the middle of the night, does any drugs and leaves evidence, etc. That would eventually get it back into court for more charges and could get him turned over to Department of Juvenile Justice where he would be sent to juvie prison- that makes him a ward of the state as well although technically, you are still the parent and will be expected to take him back upon his release unnless you use that time to get him turned over to dss. It seems almlost impossible anymore for a kid's family to get help payiing or getting the kid accepted to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) if the family can't afford it and the kid isn't in the dss system already. There might also be some relief through an agency that helps with adoptions that "go bad" but I don't know anything about those-- other members here might be able to offer suggestions about that.
