Medicaid does not normaly pay for RTC placements, but, since he was not legally adopted, the stte should be able to provide necessary funding for this. Also, mst faciliies take the kids with the goal being to return home, but if the child can't manage the program or th staff and family cannot insure the safety of each other, strep down programs are then used. The facilities are generally set up in levels and if the staff determines returning home is not an option, then step down would be. His not having a legal family that's clean and sober in this instance, can be a benefit to him. You could be his resource"parent", but cannot be held responsible for taking him back.
Also, soulwhisper, your questions really bugged me. What difference do the details of the assault make? Are these questions a rape victim should be asked to determine if the rape was severe enough? Just because the perp was a minor, does not make the victim any less abused.
