[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 193693, member: 59"] Hex that is very good news. I am always excited when I here about a juvenile judge/magistrate that really has the difficult child's best interests at heart. He sounds very progressive. There is a push in juvenile courts all around the country to treat difficult child's with mental disorders differently than they have in the past, which was just to lock them up or assign them to a PO. We just started a program in our city where difficult child's are send for evaluation and then go through a special court that deals with juveniles with addictions or disorders in getting them the services they need. Of course some result in Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placements but at least they are finally realizing that there are other options first. We went to court last week (our sixth time I believe). The magistrate was wonderful. He truly wanted to help difficult child instead of punish her. He recognized what services we already tried and asked us as parents what he could do to help us. My difficult child doesn;t know how lucky she is. I hope some services come through that help you and your difficult child. Nancy [/QUOTE]
