[QUOTE="klmno, post: 352601, member: 3699"] That reflects how it worked on difficult child (or didn't work) before his incarceration but after this incarceration, the wait for court is not being blown off this time, it appears. But, if he does go back to sneaking out or whatever, he can be held in detention from his arraignment til the court date, or he can be put on a detention program and sent home with a gps monitor and with that program, they do home checks and the gps is actually monitored by a guard at the detention center 24/7 and police are sent out to get him if he violates. So, the biggest hurdle will be the next 4 weeks. Fortunately, this first few days with the mentor seems to be effective and helping but we'll have to see if he maintains this after spering break and he's back at school with friends for a couple of weeks. If this does get his head back on straight, they will be happy with that and less concerned about making sure he gets a consequence for this first violation. Keep in mind that although a parole violation is serious and gets a kid back in front of a judge who can recommit him, it is not as major as another arrest. If he was/is arrested while on parole, especially now while already having a scheduled court appearance for a violation, they most likely (almost certainly) throw his rear in detention until the court date. And if I need to call police again, they will take it more serious even if I don't wait very long after difficult child has left. Before, even after he'd been out all night they said they would not go looking for him. [/QUOTE]
