As I said above in answer to someone else, I did not think nor did I want to send my son to an RTC, or a lockdown facility. Thank you for saying something positive to me, that I MAY not have made a bad choice. The violence was a big issue, as my son had hurt me badly several times, especially the last time, when I told him no more gambling. No, he would not even think of going to GA. He said he didn't have a problem. Numerous times, I had a lot of kids (at one time, my neighbor told me 7 cars came to my house with about 12 guys surrounding my house and front door), looking for my son, saying he stole something from them (I assumed drugs or money), and they wanted it back. They came several times to my house for about 3 days in a row. My son was never home when they came, except one time, and we just kept quiet in the house. I also had to call the police several times, when these kids came, and also when I was afraid for myself with my son. I believe this is why my son isn't going to stay more than 4 days with me after graduation and then will leave the state of AK. I know and he knows that he owes people money. Yes, he could have gotten hurt, or who knows what. I still have one kid calling asking when my son will be home, as he owes him money, I don't answer the phone anymore when he calls, and the first time I told him, that my son wasn't coming home. Thanks.
