[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 79686, member: 1514"] Ok...I dont know about WI itself, but I know enough about how things work generically that I might be able to help. CHIPS, CHINS, PINS...they are all basically the same thing. You are telling the juvenile court that your child is unruly and you need help making him do what you want him to do. This can mean that you want them to help you access some sort of mental health services or to tell Little Mr. Smarty Pants to stop acting like a jerk and do what mom and dad says. Normally they assign the kid a probation officer who oversees everything. Sometimes this helps...sometimes it doesnt. Another avenue to look into is the state mental health system. If your son is or could be considered a danger to himself or others, you can have him placed into a psychiatric hospital for an evaluation. My best help there was the state hospitals because they took a longer time doing the evaluations and even if the kid decided he wasnt willing to stay voluntarily, well the courts could tell him he had to stay. Then they can access a residential placement facility if they feel he warrants one of those. If your son has a felony staring at him, he may be willing to consider doing whatever you ask now since it will look good to the judge when the court date arrives. Or not...depending on how defiant he is. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
