[quote=Anonymous]I read a piece recently about a family who went through something similar with an older teen. They took his door off the hinges and removed everything from his room except for a mattress on the floor.  They locked off the closet and left him 7 sets of clothing in an open shelf.  They put a key lock on the bathroom door and he had timed showers and they would unlock and boot him out after 5 monutes. They took away all media/computers/smart phone/TV - they did leave him with a dumb phone.  They locked off other areas of the house (guest room, basement) to prevent him from setting up shop in those locations.  They told him if he wanted to act like a criminal in their home, he would live like one as well.  In order to earn his life back, he had to report to them right after school daily, submit to drug testing, get a job, etc.  He didn't have any money or anything of his own and he quicly realized he liked having all the cush stuff they had been providing, so he complied.  Might not work for everyone, but maybe worth a try.[/quote]
