Quote From: texasgirl06Instead 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.
My son is getting it from somewhere I believe. We have know prescription drugs in the house. He has changed so much in the past month since he started high school. He is only 14 and a freshman. He has not even been in school for a month and he has skipped 13 classed. I figured something was going on the second day he skipped. We talked to him as parents and of course we get every excuse in the book. We went to his counselor and she said she could see what she could do. He is so good at convincing she gave him a pass to go to class and he just never went to the next 2 classes. We are finally able to get him help because over the weekend he also ran away because he was grounded and he didn't want to be. From being truant and running away we finally were able to get him help through the choice program which is counseling through the juvenile system. It is a family counseling and one on one for him.
We start today so I hope and pray that this counselor will see through the lies and coniver my son is. He needs help and so do we.
