I googled retreat for troubled teens by the way. I saw oprah or Dr. phil send a extremely difficult child there and it took 9-10 months but her life turned around. They use a therapeutic approach also including animals.

Thank you! I will have her take a look at this.

you're welcome. It seems like it could really work, that was the first that come up but there were a tons other. Just google retreat for troubled teens. To me it seems like a better option than military school, and they are in a loving and nurturing environment. And animals can teach kids a lot.

if the mother lives in Edmonton or surrounding areas, then P CHAD would be really good. you go there for 5 days min, they feed you, they cloth you, there's showers, bedrooms, and wonderful staff. you can spend a longer time there, but you have to get a court order. however they do handcuff you. the mother can say who sees the child, and who they child can talk to while in the facility. i've been to P CHAD and it was a interesting experience. They teach you a lot about drugs, and alcohol, and they've even got some educational videos on wild life.

Maybe World's Strictest Parents???? they get kids like that on the show and they go live with some of the strictest parents for a week.

my younger sister is like that but she punchs my mom and always yells at me and always is a angery person, but backs down from my dad. We think shes a stage 4 bi-polar and very chemically unbalanced, but youu can send him to juvi and tell him this is were your gunna end up but even worse and have the cops scare him.
