Question

my niece is 16,skips school,steals from her mom,and she is on drugs. We are looking to find a boot camp for her. So she can have a better life we pray.

Answer 1

I have the same problem with a second cousin of mine who's young enough to be my daughter, and I'll give you the same advice I gave my cousin: a bootcamp will scare her for a while and then she'll keep ruining her life.

Look at it this way: if a store goes bankrupt, whom would you blame--the checkout girl or the manager? The manager's at fault, because he was the one in charge. So, if your niece is a problem child, is because whoever is in charge of her live is doing something wrong.

It's a shame there are no bootcamps for lousy parents, but at least you can try to convince them to go to family therapy with your niece.

Answer 2

I'm not trying to sound like a downer..... but boot camp is not the answer. My brother went to a "boot camp" when he was 11 for stealing and skipping and stuff. He started stealing cars at 16. He's 25 now and in jail for about the hundereth time. He recently was shot and is addicted to drugs. On a happier note,my sister finally straightened up after going to prison for the first time. She got clean and is working and everything. (Not saying she has bad parents, some people need more attention than others) I think that parenting has a lot to do with it. My mom was a hard-butt on me when I was a kid. She didn't give me anything. I worked the day I turned 16 and I kept my self out of trouble: soccer, cheerleading, track, and college-level studies in high school. My mom babied my younger siblings, catered to their every needs from the get-go. And when she finally cut them off, they retaliated and started taking everything that they wanted, no matter the consequence.

I think that boot camp will probably not be a great idea. The only thing that it is going to do is put her in touch with peers that are doing the same thing that she's doing and learn how to do more, and how to be better at it. I would probably do something darastic however, like quitting my job or taking FMLA time (you can legally take FMLA to help a family member who is in dire straights), homeschooling her and basically being a watch-dog. This will be very "boot-camp" like whereas she will have constant supervision and a daily routine, without the bad influences. Take her to church groups, even if you don't believe in God. There are going to be kids there that do and they generally have better morals than people like me (lol).

Good luck, and if all else fails, call Montel or Geraldo!
