thanks. I’m surprised you responded.
tough question, right ? where we could find no answer.
We did everything recommended by the “powers that be” - school;courts;psych profession etc...to no avail.
I recommendeed the military for my cuz but, that got shot down....mostly because of his drug use.(I still think it was the best choice - but he had a newborn son @ 18...)
Job Corps maybe ?...but he didn’t last long in the jobs he had...
maybe the peace corps - it kept Chris Matthews out of Vietnam.
I have a friend who is taking the “model” we had at the orphanage - sans the brutality - and has set it up as an environment for at risk kids. It really was a great naturing model for the conditions and circumstances at the time.
A different story for another time.
FreeRegrds.
I just looked at the Job Corps in Joliet.
My ignorance dismissed it. I apologize for that.
I take it back - the job corps might have been perfect for my cuz.
We never thought of it. Maybe he wouldn’t have walked away from that.
And it is currently the same kind of model my friend set up on a smaller scale
thanks again
