Good for you Concerned Dad!!!!!!!

Your research is the BEST Christmas present you could have given your son!!!!!!

You are making the right choice by not throwing your child to the wolves!

I second that, Good for you, Concerned Dad!!  the best thing you can do for your son is to stay involved, read as much as you can about the options availble to him and your family.  If you can take some time off and spend one-on-one time with him that would be ideal.  Seek local counseling, talk to his teachers, but dont dont give up on him or feel you have failed because he doesnt respond the way you think he should, he is a teen and will choose his own path regardless of what you say or do.

But remember that you are responsible for his safety and if his choices are taking him too far down a path which is unhealthy then you may want to seek more outside help.

Uh, so why bother having him locked up, then?  You just admitted the kid will do what he wants anyway.  Or are you just saying, "Get him into a program where he can be FORCED to do as you say"?

It gets confusing reading TheWho's posts because he contradicts himself over and over and then lashes out at people who point out his shortcomings.  The best advice would be to ignore completely what TheWho says.  He's a walking self-contradiction.

I wouldn’t suggest locking any child up unless they commit a crime, I don’t think we were discussing this.  We are not talking about forcing a kid to do as I say, but the programs are highly structured so the child would be expected to wake up at a certain time each day and take meals with the other children, attend classes etc.

I think the confusion may be on your end.  Let me try to clarify it a little for you.  When I mention that the child will choose his or her own path I was referring to pursuing a college education vs pursuing a non college career path.  If a child wants to become and artist, Engineer  or car mechanic I think it is important to support them in their dreams and aspirations.  But if the child is at-risk then he/she may have trouble getting on track to attain these goals and a TBS can help to get the child on track and focusing on the right things.
Hope this helps to clear that up.
