Umm.....Heres a thought!.....Try not sending your child anywhere and dealing with it..so quick to turn your child over to someone else..Be a Parent stick by them do what it takes but do not send your child away..Trust me eventually they do grow up..I was held at knifepoint..thrown agianst a wall called names..lied to,drugs ect..but I never turned her away,she is now a very respected young adult,yours can be also..Try researching the Child in puberty..Oh and yes it does last at least until they are 18.Understand some things your child is acting out on may not be in your control..but geez stand by them don't shove them off on especially these people who are not qualified to deal with Our Troubled children.More damage than good.
