In case he or she was a very troublesome kid. To a common house or foster care. Would this be so traumatic that could destroy your relationship for life, even if the kid turns out to be a great adult?

Yeah, that would mess them up a bit and maybe lead to suicide.
They might think that you didn't want them anymore, hence the no one wants me!!! idea... Then, pop, they're hangin' from a tree, or that's my expieriences I've had with kids like that... Ooh... Bright and cheery, eh?

my parents actually sent me away. they sent me to jamaica to a rehab where there where no child abuse laws and then i had to come back and get knee surgery on my legs because of what they did to me, not to mention and they did to everybody else there. Also, i've been sent away to a place that is like a waiting place for a foster home and a group home. I've been to juvenile hall. honestly, none of that stuff helped me. I just came home and did it again, but then something hit me, and i have been clean and sober for 6 months, i do the dishes all the time, and i am very very respectful to my parents. I love them now. A kid changes only when they want to. The only thing I would recommend is a rehab if they are into drugs, or a place that is a break, go down to your police station and ask them if they have a place something like a crisis resolution center or something. Good luck! email me for further questions!

Unless it were a broken home already, I would never send a child troublesome or not to a foster home.
It would ruin relationships majorly, i would think

It depends on the trouble.
If it was drugs/alchohol, then I would send them to rehab.
If it was because they're mentally unstable then I would send them to a hospital.
If they're getting in trouble with friends, then I would either move schools or move.
If they're self destructive then a hospital.
A violent threat to the people around them, either juvie or a hospital.
In any other situation I would go over other options. Such as military school, send them to live with a family member, ect.
And as far as it being traumatic, it really depends on the child. How they handle situations and such. But if it means helping your child, even if they don't understand it and never do, you should still do it.

I honestly can;t answer that. I have sent my daughter off to "hospital" but it was a pretty serious mental health issue that I could not handle at home and she needed 24 professioanl care. Our job as parents is to have them end up as healthy, productive members of society. I guess IU would ideally say that whatever that takes is what we need to do. But GOD thats hard!!

It depends on how troublesome, Sometimes, some tough love is needed

I personally would not do it, but my family sent my cousin away and he turned out fine. it would probably cause future relationship problems, but it would straighten up the kid.

If your teen is misbehaving that bad, maybe you should take a look at your parenting skills.
I think if its that bad, the best thing to do would be to send them to a summer boot camp. It teaches them disipline, respect, and manners.

Never ever do that. My parents would threaten to do that until they found out I wanted to leave. It would hurt your child and ruin your relationship, cause "Mom doesn't want me".
