[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 16, the kid has to consent to go and agree to follow rules. It won't happen. BTDT. There are few if any resources for kids at this point unless the kid assaults the parents, etc. and it will just build more resentment. [/quote] I do not think this is accurate, but it may be different in different states. My 17 year old nephew is currently attending a therapeutic boarding school - this is not something he agreed to or was in favor of doing initially. Six months into the program I don't think he'd leave if he could. The structure and support for the entire family is making a huge difference. It was a very difficult decision for the family and is very expensive, but it is making a positive impact for a teen that was headed in the completely wrong direction. At this point (6 months into the program) I think it is harder on my sister than my nephew. [/quote]
