This article is true to fact. His experience mirrors the overview. He was released to his parents home with no services provided, not even a probation officer. He returned to the exact same environment. He lived with his father for 3 weeks and was kicked out. He now lives with us, his grandparents, and has for 3 months. The gains that he made in RTC disappeared quickly. He has in effect lost both of his parents and his siblings. He is non compliant and resistant to any structure. We are taking a Love and Logic parenting class (on our own) and have him attending counseling (when he will attend). The class we are taking is way to mild for the type of problems that we are encountering. I found this website in my own search for help. I have tried contacting the court that originally placed him and they don't even bother to call me back. I will continue to search for advise, but wanted to thank you for your article.
