[QUOTE="klmno, post: 432686, member: 3699"] I agree with that. That doesn't mean that I think "my" state has figured out a feasiible approach to deal with difficult children and their families (clearly I think they are way off base) but I do beleive in the good intent of the majority of Americans, which gets reflected on a jury the majority of the time. The last time difficult child was arrested, which was in my home for an offense against me, the policeman and I both agreed this was a stupid idea for difficult child to come straight home after release from Department of Juvenile Justice. But we both also knew (and discussed) that it was CSU controlling that. So what does one do? CSU is doing it because of funding- not just funding for services but funding because the higher-ups would prefer to spend the funding they get on inadequate probation/parole officers to "monitor" (aka nothing beneficial) instead of rehabilitative services. Those decisions are made because the public thinks and is more comfortable believeing that taxpayers dolklars are better spent on POs than services. POs do nothing except order stuff. If there's no money for the stuff they should be ordering, then they are doing nothing except trying to turn a home into a Residential Treatment Center (RTC). That goes back to public knowledge and who the public votes for. I'm bringing that up because I'm thinking Casey was probably on some sort of public assistance- although I don't know that for sure. Either way, I can definitely understand your desire to find faith in our system again. I'm going thru that too, although probably from a different angle. The world judt isn't the same and it's going to take some real - I don't know what- to get people in this country back on track, in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
