@chochom–, personally, if I would have been sent away at that time amd goven money from my parents, i wouod have simply used it all on drugs, and progressively gotten into heavier substances. As ot happens, i have a friend whose parents did. Exactly as you suggest. Their son (after havin been in rehab twice) is a drug addict, drug dealer, and living with a shiksa. No, it probably is not the right thing to do in the majority of cases. Think about it, youre sending this kid away from whatever restrictions are left at home, giving him money, and letting him do as he wishes. What do you think will happen? If he was doing anything bad at home, it will only be worse outside of the house.
