[QUOTE="klmno, post: 500576, member: 3699"] The thought of calling the police dept to get some info crossed my mind, too, BUddy. It isn't being inside the GH together that concerns me- they will be going to public school together and any kid in the GH with gang affiliations will be getting back in the norm with other gang members. It isn't the GH placement that concerns me so much about it- it's coming here in general because they will run into difficult child whether he lives in GH, with me, or anywhere. Really, it's one more vote for moving out of this area altogether as far as I'm concerned. You didn't make things worse, Buddy- I'm one who prefers to know what I'm dealing with. I'm not sure about notification of rellease for gang members, but police are not notified of most releases, like difficult child's. Now, if there are rivals of gang members where there have been previous assaults- they do try to keep the people from being placed together, whether it be in a detention center together or whatever. That wouldn't apply here though because difficult child isn't in a rival gang. In that regard, he'd be better off if he was because they wouldn't put them in a GH together and would notify people of potential violence. The other situation I'm aware of when they step in is when a kid has been in a gang and is trying to get out of it and dis-associate from it, they try to keep that kid separated. Maybe these are differences in the juvie system- I don't know. Many of these kids aren't coming out of Department of Juvenile Justice planning a future- they are resolved they'll spend their lives in and out of incarceration and the number one thing to them is accomplishing something on their mind prior to getting back in incarcerations again. I know it's not what people want to believe, but they don't all come out determined never to go back and with conviction to have a wonderful life now. [/QUOTE]
