Therapy?

Quote From: beckyharn

I have a 16 yr. old, that has stolen from me. Not just over the counter drugs but my prescriptions. I have them locked in a box, he still got into it. So we put the lock box in a locked cabnit, he still got it. I went so far to call the police. All they did was tell him to go to bed or I brought him into this world. He has ran away several times. I have filed incorigable charges. He is on house arrest right now ready to go to court this week. They will probuly put him on probation. Then I will have to pay the fees. I don't have the money to do it. I just hope it isn't waisted. The police in this small town will not help parents who are trying to stop this kind of thing from going on. Instead of helping, they are contribuating to the problem.                                                            Becky
Instead of prosecuting your child, have you tried counseling?  I mean, family counseling AND individual counseling for your child.  If it's an issue of money, your insurance will probably cover a large part of it.  If it doesn't and money is still an issue, I'm sorry... NOTHING is too expensive for the well-being of your child.  Filing charges is obviously not working.

You  called the cops on your kid for doing drugs? Ever tried parenting? Maybe accepting your child? Getting him involved with the police is going to scar him emotionally for life. I almost don't even believe someone could do something THAT screwed up to their child. I'd run away too.

LIKE YOUR KIDS.

Have you tried rehab? Have you checked to see if there are any state funded drug programs for teens in your area? Call your city council man or check with his attorney about  drug diversions programs instead of house arrest.

If one source doesn't help try another. Try going down to the police station and ask to speak with someone then let that person direct you in the right place or you direct yourself by ask for Chief of police, administrator, and if them two things don't work go to the court system or a substance abuse place to find out how you can get the police to respond better or other avenues you can take.  It's just a suggestion, I haven't tried it, but one thing I know is that you have to find additional sources until there exhausted to get the help in any situation. Good Luck!
