There is an ongoing difficulty in obtaining placements for older children due to the social element associated with teenagers in general. As a mother of four, I am aware of the worry one has from the time teenage children go out on a Saturday night. One does not know what will happen to them before they come home. Many years ago when my children were small and I was running up and down the stairs to get them to sleep at night, my mother told me that I was experiencing the best days of my life with them. I told her that nothing could be more difficult than what I was undergoing but now I would love to have my four teenagers back at three and four years of age at which age one could put them to bed and know where they were.
