[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 615887, member: 7170"] There is something seriously wrong with this system, my friend got 5 years probation and her kid was in state juvi age 15-21 because courts believed rantings of a 13yo who was full blown psychosis. I understand they can't have different rules for mentally ill people, but courts need to have the ability to "read between the lines" and figure out what really happened or how severe the infraction really was (if people doing 24hr supervision didn't know it happened) When Angel got arrested for shoplifting a couple years ago it was one of the best things that could have happened to her. Didn't matter I had been begging her psychiatrist to check lithium levels over a month or that she was back into the psychiatric hospital a week after her arrest, she stole she spent night in jail she spent next year going to probation and it cost her over $1000. It was a wake up call for her that she will be held accountable for her actions; that probably is what kept her out of prison and alive. I'm sorry they went over board charging your son but hopefully this is a wake up call for him sexual misconduct of any kind is not tolerated even in people who aren't thinking straight. Thank God he isn't listed for life on sex offender registry like my friends son is. Nancy [/QUOTE]
