[QUOTE="DDD, post: 525953, member: 35"] I've been there done that and I understand your concern. Sadly our juvie court system is set up much like the adult court. Often there is no effort or time spent trying to encourage positive changes. Public Defenders are assigned and it is the luck of the draw whether you have one who listens or not. We have one Judge who eagerly labels juveniles as felons. Sigh. So...after all that whine, lol...what would I do if I were you? I would keep a personal journal of difficult children daily choices and behaviors "worked 5-9" "did home dishes" "maintained curfew"...whatever. I would do that until notification of further Court action arrived in the mail. THEN I would write a summary of difficult child's activities and progress to share with the Attorney. Often the PD and the PA meet and decide what they believe the Court should do. This information is shared with the accused. If your daughter is 18 she can insist that only she be consulted. Sigh. I'm sorry you are in this position. It is hard not to get psyched out about it. I'm sending hugs and hopes you can detach and enjoy the good things that are happening now. DDD [/QUOTE]
