[QUOTE="klmno, post: 480133, member: 3699"] No- PO is still in control of placement until he's off parole and he can't get off parole now until he goes to this group home and he or he & me (if he comes home) has a min 90 days of their intenseive outpatient whatever. They choose where he goes and have to approve of it. He gets out when re-entry lady says he gets out of group home. So, they might say he is ready to get out of group home in 6 mos but I might not be ready or comfortable yet with him coming home- then we are right back to 'abandonment' on the table. The first time difficult child was on probation, we both had to attend anger management, although the parents only had to go to part of it. Did it help? Nope- it taught my 11yo how to curse horribly and punch holes in walls. Also, PO had told me before that he could use the local detention center as a means to transition difficult child out of Department of Juvenile Justice. I didn't like the idea at the time because it would ruin any chance of getting the advanced diploma. Well, that won't be an option anymore since difficult child has no chance for it with this new release date. Then why didn't PO even think of any of this? Again, rash decisions. I thought about calling him up and bringing this up and asking him to look into it but after his Dr. Jekyll attitude yesterday and me hanging up on him, I'm thinking it wouldn't do any good. Honestly, the detention home transition would solve all the problems, assuming PO is right in that they allow a kid to be checked out for a day pass, then for weekend, or whatever. That would give us time to see if he really is going to try or needs the group home. [/QUOTE]
