[QUOTE="klmno, post: 168091, member: 3699"] Yes, he was put on probation a year ago, with charges from last year deferred until this year. Then, he did 2 dumb things with a friend this year. Both illegal, misdemeanors. One, unlawful entry into a yard shed, and another was tearing up the school issued laptop. So, the judge locked him up with a sentence that she can't stick to because the kid has to be at least 14 yo to do what she initially sentenced 2 weeks ago. We go back on Thurs. to get her "revised" sentence. I guess I will talk to the defense attny about the letter- maybe he can play it by ear during court and determine then if it might help. difficult child has anxiety issues (regardless of what the psychiatrist says) and will fall apart if he has to read it. I think the judge will consider that and would either not accept it, or take it and read it herself. Paid attny- I fired the public defender. He didn't do anything. The paid one isn't doing a lot. It is to a point where I can't afford anything anymore though. The lack of time at work caused my employer to quit paying our medication insurance (he had been paying mine and difficult child's). So, now I'm still not working full time hours (so less pay), but having to dish out the cost for medication insurance so we don't have to change providers. The medication insurance is about the same cost as a house payment. This situation CANNOT last much longer. [/QUOTE]
