[QUOTE="klmno, post: 142571, member: 3699"] Well, here's the scoop. difficult child was released to me because the policeman didn't want him put in detention over this. However, he won't have any say in that later due to the suspended sentence difficult child is already on and given the fact that the PO is, UHMMM- I'll skip that one. Apparently, the night difficult child spent the evening with a friend- the same friend that he went into the shed with the following week- the friend took difficult child's computer apart and difficult child decided to destroy parts inside of it then. Notice how difficult child didn't stop this and neither damaged the friend's computer. Anyway, difficult child has been having medication changes due to signs of mania and this really fits along with his pattern. He's never had ppolice even called on him other than the manic periods, much less arrested. Try getting sd, PO, and others to see that though. I try to be objective and hope I am at least somewhat, but all I can see is that last year the absurd, dangerous, illegal behavior was for a much shorter period than the year before and this year it is not as extreme and that period lasted approximately 1 week this year- although there are still other signs at home (raging, lack of sleep, etc.) Specifically, in 2006, difficult child was flailing knives around and biking down a busy 4 lane road in the dark after pushing me out of the way and bolting out of the house- many times over a 3 mo period. Last year, he went into what appeared to be an abandoned house, took matches, went outside and lit matches, dropping them at his feet, thinking he was stomping them out but it started a brush fire-this was all in a 2 hour period after several weeks of being disruptive at school. Last summer, difficult child was switched to mood stabilizers and we've been trying to get them right. This year, he and the friend did this to the computer and a week later went biking in pouring rain and went into an abandoned detached shed. To me, this is a drastic improvement- so much so that if the other signs of mania weren't there, I would think it was just stupid decision-making. But, even though I see it as a vast improvement, he didn't become perfect and with the suspended sentence, this could land him in detention for a long time. Of course, I understand the suspension from school but yes, I do think this is a result of his disability. Particularly since I was telling people at school during that period that the way they were handling things was going to trigger difficult child, in my opinion. They did not change. Yesterday evening I emailed school and director of sp ed poitning out that iep was still not being implemented and asking if sd admin was going to do anything about it. This am difficult child was arrested- I don't think the friend was- I think the friend got the suspension only. Can you have the manifestation determination if the suspended time hasn't reached 10 days yet? Do in school suspensions count toward the 10 days? [/QUOTE]
