[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 441134, member: 6705"] The lawyer is not necessarily supposed to act in the best interest of the child. That would be children's services. The lawyer's aim is to get all charges dropped or a reduced sentence. I know this because - the court-appointed, parent-paid (GRRRRR) attorney that Onyxx had last year? Got them to agree to a $60 fine (including court costs) for domestic violence. AFTER she had been convicted of assault on a teacher. But that felony? Got dropped to a misdemeanor. She beats up her family and they tap her on the wrist. I'm glad your son stayed on his own. That will make the treatment more effective, if he WANTS to. [/QUOTE]
