[QUOTE="klmno, post: 500868, member: 3699"] Good point, DJ. I don't think he's viewing anything about this release as something to look forward to right now, DDD. I visited and between him venting and talking about football they are betting snacks on, I got a little clearer info. First, the guy in the GH is the one he actually stole from (the gang member). I asked if difficult child wouldn't have just as much risk at home as in GH and he said no. Secondly, he started out just telling one staff person that he trusted but that person is on his treatment team and had difficult child bring it up to the entire treatment team- so now they all have to report to their individual supervisors. He's beside himself about the whole thing. On top of that- re the candy issue- he wasn't written up- he says if he'd been written up, he'd only gotten a couple of days without privileges because it's a minor charge- it wouldn't have set his time back. He says after this issue came out with the treatment team (both the gang concern and the candy issue), then they decided to set him back in the anger management course which he'd been scheduled to complete next week. Now he has to wait until the "junior class" of anger management gets to their 10th week and then pick up with them, to complete 5 more weeks. So who knows when he'll get out. He got defensive when I asked about him getting in trouble now and also in Nov., 3 weeks before he was supposed to get released then, too. He said several staff have asked him if he's self-sabatoging. I don't know what will end up happening- probably just waiting a lot longer for him to go to GH for a long time but who knows- between those letters I setn, this stir up over the stuff at Department of Juvenile Justice and the gang issue, a lot of higher ups will be looking into it. Still, they'll probabaly use this to justify backing up PO. Oh- and he could have appealed the decision to be put back in the ang man course but he didn't because he said they told him this would give PO time to reviwe his placement- I said difficult child, PO isn't reviewing your placement- and about that time it dawned on him that they just told him that to agree to it without appealing. I told him to put a grievance in over that. Staff in Department of Juvenile Justice used to be good for not lying and manipulating like that- they stuck to the rules about telling the truth re policies, punishments, etc, but I guess they have gotten just like the POs now. Also,difficult child said the director and admin staff (higher up) have changed within the last few mos and a few parents are writing the GA, the director and all over the place over the same koi I am. Apparently, they are trying to change policies and rules lately but they aren't going about it right so it's resulting in inconsistent charges and punishments in the actual facilties.
