[QUOTE="Suz, post: 185114, member: 29"] They arrested him. It was a different situation from yours, Kolleen in that Rob was still a minor at the time. He'd been in therapy for at least 10 years by then, his attitude was still sinking, he was shoplifting, had burglarized our neighbor's home on several occasions, was a PITB in school (oh, and let's not forget he was an occasional fire setter, too). We had exhausted all resources and the only viable one left was the juvenile justice system. Fortunately, he was one of the lucky ones and he got a wonderful PO. "Saint Scott" as I called him, really went out on a limb a few times to obtain more services for Rob. He got him approved for longterm residential care at an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), then an additional year in a group home until he graduated from high school. Rob was doomed before this happened. When he was released from probation two years later he still had to learn things the hard way. Heck, he was even homeless one PA winter- not a good thing. But he was the kind of kid who needed to learn everything the hard way. I have no regrets over the decisions that were made even though they about killed me at the time. Suz [/QUOTE]
