[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 155063, member: 1157"] Sadly, the system is not set up to provide services to people that don't seek them, or to track down every parent of every child who is going astray. There is not enough staff, nor enough funding. I know how hard I had to fight to get services for Youngest that she was entitled to by law ... I was in front of the juvenile judge and social services over and over trying to get help, sometimes just with getting her to school ... what about the parents that don't or can't navigate those waters? Maybe these parents were in that place. They're told to do something, but have no clue how to go about it or what resources to tap into. It's a sad situation all around. The system is broken, no doubt about it. I think the laws are there for a reason ... you are legally resonsible for getting your child to school and can be held accountable for his/her truancy.. it's to catch the parents that DON'T care (and we do know those, even if none of us here fall into that category). Sadly, those of us that DO care risk getting caught up in that, too. That's why I learned ....CYA CYA CYA. [/QUOTE]
