[QUOTE="seekinghope, post: 185045, member: 5528"] Yes Witz, I have explained this to him over and over. Guilty by association, regardless if he took something or not. He entered with his friends. He seems to have trouble absorbing new info. once he has made up his own mind of how things should be. This is not a stupid child. I still can't tell if he is just being stubborn or if he just cannot comprehend the new info. I am telling him (especially if there are several new pieces of info.) Now this is something his dad has already noticed too because I called him first with the info. about probation, and diversion and what might be expected from our son. He was like "do not tell him this all at once" "give it to him a little at a time or he'll flip-out because he won't absorb all this." He was afraid he would hear the words probation and PINS and from there KABOOM! I calmly tried to explain that he was very lucky to probably not be going before a judge and the J.V. judge here is suppose to be very strict. But there had to be some consequence for his actions and I was sorry that I do not have the power to change the law. Also, that his future was his responsibility and he had to make sure he learned to not act out impulsively. I told him I would get back to him on Mon. when I knew more. That will give him time to accept this part of it. My daughter lives closer to dad and she said she would call him and offer to take Grg to any Dr., dentist, etc. appts.Hopefully this will take some pressure off bio dad and my son will get some care. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
