I think setting up a home program to get him out of these bad habits is a good first set...I think you took the first step by making his coming to your home contingent on him getting help but I think that all the rules need to be made this explicit and a reward system and consequences fo misbehavior need to be clearly spelled out...

make sure he ate them both not caring about the next person, he sneaks out at night, is very mean to his brother, he just has no care for anyone. He wants very much to come live with me but he gets me so frustrated ,I also have my job to worry about ,i cant and shouldnt have to loose. I have tried every where in pa even the special school (cap program ) my son goes to where my son continues to get d,and f,s (this is not a resadential) and even they cant help me out, Im so tired and frustrated that no one seems to care. I told my son he cant come to live with me untill he agrees to get help.

> please tell me where dous a parent of a 15 yr old behavior disorder boy go for help in the state of pa? , when after a child turns 14 you can not force them to see medical help or counseling for there behavior problems , I think this is pretty bad, when all we want to do is keep them from ending up in the prizon system and make the right desitions for there selfs and respect others. I aim pulling my hair out , please if anyone can help with
sugestions.I believe that untill a child is 18 we as parents should have the say in getting them treatment. I aim tempted to contact the state reprasentative.
