[quote=Anonymous]Another eventual good outcome story: my friend's daughter (possibly bipolar, not sure if any official dx) was very rebellious when her mom became single parent when the girl (youngest daughter) was 13. Mom ended up having her adjudicated and placed in therapeutic foster care (which is often a joke). Girl continued to party/do drugs/hang with adult men with foster parents clueless. Mom found out. Social worker threatened residential treatment. Teen (16 by then) ran away. County returned custody to mom rather than have an eloped foster kid on their books. Mom was indigent and could not afford to look for her daughter. Daughter turned up in another state. Stayed there until she was 18 living with a39 yo felon with meth convictions. Once 18 and out of reach of county she returned, continued to use meth, other criminal stuff she mostly did not get caught with. Got pregnant. Went into a shelter for single mothers/pregnant women being treated for addiction. Finished GED. Went to college. Became social worker and therapeutic foster parent herself. Adopted a special needs child. Now is director for social services for 3 counties. She's 31. [/quote]
