Smart Cookie- I like what you said, and I’ve actually been trying to do that. I give him my cell phone when he goes out, and ask him who he will be with and when he thinks he’s coming home. The thing is, he always stays out later than he says, and there is no way I can enforce compliance.

Avhaben – I hear you, we did speak with a therapist a while back, and while I do think they have insight into helping troubled kids, not doing the mitzvos is not really a ‘crisis’ for them as it would be to a Rebbe.
