Re: Thanks!

You can't talk to a cop??? I don't know where you live, but most cops I

know would rather work with a kid than arrest them, and it's even better for

the kid when the cop knows the parents don't approve of her antics.

I only mention this as a few of my friends that are cops are involved

with a few at risk youth......I took two of them fishing in my boat a few

years ago, and he had two others in his boat.

I know he got through to one, as I see him down the river in all kinds of

weather. The kids just needed to lose the crowd he was with and find

something he enjoyed to occupy his time. He is even a customer at my shop

now and wants me to take him out again this year for Walleye, as he has yet

to catch any. I told him...you pay for the gas, I'll bring the boat. He has

my number. He went from a punk with drunkards for parents and literally had

nothing...to where he is now...he works construction, has a newer truck and

is engaged. Three years ago I would have put money on this dude going to

jail.

I've been involved in a few things like that by being friends with these

guys. Hell, three of us grew up fishing together, and they know I won't

refuse someone a shot at a good day on the water.

Things are a bit different for me now, as I have my own kids to

take....but on days when they don't want to go I'll see someone on shore and

if I've seen them enough offer them a ride to where I'm going as the fishing

near the river access isn't all that great. I made a few friends that way.

Just a thought, it might be worth looking into...especially before she

winds up in trouble.

I can only say I believe you have done the right thing. I say this after my

divorce my son went to drugs and drinking big time bad . with understanding and

a firm hand he is now living with me and my wife not his mother, we are looking

into concealing for him like he had back in Idaho tell his mom would not pay for

it any more or should I say step dad talked her out of it. I know this when a

young person turns it has already been there in a way but something bad happens

to them (my son losing his best Friend his father to stills and a divorce that

made him move far away . A mother that did all she could to keep him from seeing

or talking to his dad ) they look for things some times in bad ways to relive

there pain as my son did . my son also became a cutter and also tried to kill

him self . today he is almost a normal young adult what ever that is LOL

Gosh Chris.

My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine (I don't have kids) having to make

that huge decision but I'm sure it was the right decision.

Best wishes to you and your family.

wanted to give an update. We still have the dog, the wife called this morning

said she felt they made the right decision & her husband is emotional so got

irrational, whatever, we are keeping the dog if hubby shows up we will call the

police.

As for my daughter, she disappeared for a while today after completely trashing

her room then called saying she can't be here is very pist about her car & phone

getting taken for an undisclosed time. There aren't many options here for out of

control teens usually it's either detention or the psychiatric hospital which is

horrible. I lucked out & found a 14 day inpatient program for at risk youth &

she agreed to go. Of course once there she had a change of heart sobbing for us

not to leave her but I left know she is safe. Lucky for us the LOSER boyfriend

is under 18 so he can't visit they can only talk on the phone for 5 minutes. It

was one of the hardest things I've ever done but I know it's the right decision.

If she has a death wish I can't change it but I'm certainly not going to let her

go down without a fight! Everyone was shocked she would even consider drinking &

driving considering her dad was killed 4 years ago in a drink driving wreck. He

was the passenger &

died the driver lived, they both had blood alcohol of .21.

Again thanks to everyone for all you input & just listening I'm now off to bed

for some MUCH needed sleep.
