If your son or daughter is out of your control and engaging in negative behaviors, it is important to seek help before they reach the age of 18. Behaviors such as running away, truancy, breaking curfews, frequently defiant or violent to you, or drug or alcohol use, are all reasons to consider filing a PINS (Persons in Need of Supervision) petition. Discuss your concerns with the school social worker or guidance counselor since perhaps some school based intervention counseling can also be implemented. If you decide to file a PINS complaint, you may contact the Offie of Probation and Community Corrections at 486-2600 for an appointment to discuss your concerns.
