I was just wondering if your child has to actually commit a crime (e.g. theft) before you can legally put them there.

A couple that my parents are friends with did that. Their daughter was a total tear-away teen. She was constantly fighting, running away, doing drugs/alcohol and skipping school. Her dad went to the sheriff and between them and the judge they all agreed that a stint in a juvenile detention center would do her some good. She got locked up and within 2 days was on the phone sobbing to her parents that she wanted to come home. In the end she stayed for 2 weeks and once she was out it was a total turn-around..she was a much better behaved girl.
I'm not saying that what the parents did was either right or wrong but some kids need to be scared straight.

Actually yeah you can. My sister ran away when she was 15 when the police and my mother tracked her down she told the police to take her because she wasn't coming home with her and they did.
But I would not recommend this at all. Juvie is not a place just to send your child because their "disobediant". Its a place for teens who have done some pretty bad stuff. My sister got beat up several times till they shipped her to a foster home. Alot of the teens in their can be really violent and unfortunetly security is "slow" to react. And I know for my sister the whole experiance completely backfired. She found whole new friends that were worse then she was and has continued to this day the same person she was when she went in.

I believe that if the do gooders would shut their mouths and let the parents raise their kids we want have a problem. My parents raised 8 kids and the worst thing any of us ever did was get a traffic ticket. By the way my dad believed that if you spare the rod you spoil the child. He whipped us if we did wrong but he never beat us. These kids today are told in school that if a parent whips them and leaves a mark to call the cops.You have to make it hurt so the kid remembers not to do that again.

i think honestly this is all bullshit, back in the days my parents would beat my *** , that was scary enough to straighten my *** out but the state or the world has gone to **** because of our liberal dumb *** leaders who think they know everything, not allowing us to discipline our own kids, but yet want to be the first to say how a horrible job were doing, i have a defieant teen i trield calling cps, detention, probation, and they seem to be on the same team with the response i cant help you, but will be the first ones to say something wroing about you when your teen ends up in prison, they can all go **** them selves, they need to allow parents to dicipline thier child, and allow us the parents to make the determination if they need to be housed in a correctioanl facility or not, becuase teens can basically do what ever they want and parents have no say in them, until they break the law and then only then will they act no wonder why the country if ****** up because of our ****** up leaders who need to be impeached and we need to start all over agian but no one has the balls to stand up for ****. you rather live in fear then die of pride, **** everyone only real parents will understand my frustration and anger

Most definitely! I live in Jacksonville, FL and Jacksonville Sheriff's Office does not play about children being disrespectful; not to parents, disabled folks or the elderly! they will actually tell you to BRING your child right to the sub station or directly to DJJ and they will keep them - 8 hours the 1st time, overnight the next time...not sure after that. I've had them come to my home and counsel my child right in my living room!

I think that you would need to have your child arrested for assault in order to do it.
what is going on with your child to act that way but?
have you tyred anything to help fix this up. I think that it has potently to make him better or much worse and also maybe never be there for you to see again...
remember parents are in control for the begging of there life's after the parent gets old the child then is in control and pikes the nursing home you go to :)
Good luck

i threatened my mom and went to juvi when i was 14. you wouldn't believe how scary that was. i am 21, and have not been to juvi or jail since. but i think your child will have to commit a crime first. i threatened my mother in front of a police officer, so my mother didn't even have a choice in the matter.

As in the govermental juvinile home? I believe you actually have to be put there by the courts.
I dont agree with it, but there are private 'teen boot camp' facilities that will supposedly whip em into shape. Oh, but they are pricey.
Try some real discipline first. Stand up to your chid and be the parent.

Well... When I was 14 I stole my dad's car. I was in Juvie for 24 hours before the judge released me to my step mom. I wouldn't listen to her. She drove me to the police station and tried to drop me off... They told her they couldn't do anything because I hadn't broke any laws or anything... Later when I left the house she reported me as a runaway and they sent me to Juvie for 2 weeks... So... I don't know.

do you realise that teenagers get sent to juvie to straighten out and then come out worse then when they started? when i was a teen my best mate stole a wallet, because he was dirt poor, but it turned out to be some super rich bitches. that was the worse thing he had ever done in his life, when he came out he could hot wire a car in 30 seconds, disable a security alarm system ,pick a lock, and new exactly how to break into a house without leaving any evidence behind. do you want your son to turn out like this, just because he is being a regular teenager. you are one jerk of a father if this is true. yes you can send him there, but trust me you will wish that you hadnt when he gets out. he will hate you forever.
try talking to him, go to counsiling, and do some father son activitys together.
