[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 296553, member: 1514"] In some states the parents end up being billed for a juveniles public defender. Not in my state...but some. I agree that very often a prelim hearing will not have everything looked at before the eventual trial. This isnt quite the way things were handled in my state. In NC, you met with a court advocate (I think that is what they were called) who went over the case and talked to the parent and child about what all was going on. I always went in with my Parent Report and whatever evidence I wanted known then. Then on the day of the court hearing, Cory would be met with a court appointed lawyer because I had already told them I wasnt hiring a lawyer. He went into court and the lawyer and he pled him guilty and we all had a nice conversation with the judge and attorneys. Everyone...including me. I passed out my Parent Report like candy. It was always put into evidence with no problem and the judge weighed it heavily when sentencing him. [/QUOTE]
