[QUOTE="klmno, post: 255047, member: 3699"] Thanks, Janet. I've just learned not to trust these people. I know it probably looks paranoid to a lot of people, but I KNOW that this GAL misrepresented things and said different things to me on Friday. Even if that's justified in her job, how can it leave me trusting the system? The psychiatrist at the psychiatric hospital had told the gal that this would be a detriment to difficult child and she went to court and said it was the only alternative because I couldn't be counted on to leave difficult child in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). WTH is she basing that on? Who has been the one to advocate and scrounge for funds to cover Residential Treatment Center (RTC)? She was also in the hallway going off about the psychiatric hospital discharging difficult child on Friday- she knew they didn't have any choice because she never arranged anything differently- she knew his court was today and the psychiatric hospital had no control over when people from here went to pick difficult child up- only she could make them come this morning before court. The state Department of Juvenile Justice claims to hire out psychiatrist care to get rx's and claims that each detention place has therapist care. Well, their treatment is behavior mod for whatever the criminal act was. Whoopee. It isn't really mental health care. I don't know why the judge bothered writing that down. I bet whatever little I have left that this is what difficult child gets. I think their Residential Treatment Center (RTC) alternative placement is for real criminal insane or sex offenders. Our governor is closing the only adolescent state psychiatric hospital- I doubt he's going to allow any real mental health treatment in state juvy. The only thing worse would have been placement with my bro and that's cause then I'd feel worse knowing it happened by a family member. I can't begin to tell you how this hoovers. difficult child told me in Jan he needed more help. I tried with all my mioght to get it and they know it. Why doesn't that count for anything? It was the judge and PO who sat on it. They act like it was just me trying to get what I want- carp- I didn't WANT any of this. I was trying to do what the mental health profs were recommending. The legal people apparently don't care about that. But, we all know what would have happened if the psychiatrist/therapist had recommended something and I didn't jump to do it. Sorry- I'm not mad at you. I just know better than to get my hopes built up. difficult child is going to juvenile prison and it appears that it will be for at least a year. Then, who knows. I doubt he'll ever live at home again and if he does, I won't even know him anymore. His life is ruined. Now- why would they really care what areas my personality deviates from the norm? Does it matter anymore or are they still going to have me court ordered to fix whatever they think my issues are? Can they even do that if the juvenile has been turned over to the state? If an appeal is going to be put in, it has to be put in by next week but defense attny said that he really needed to get it in within a couple of days. [/QUOTE]
