[QUOTE="klmno, post: 303776, member: 3699"] He was committed in March (2009) and given a sentence of 15 to 21 months by Department of Juvenile Justice, with the possibility of a 4 month early release for good behavior. They would only keep him 21 mos if he refused to do his anger management course, but he's not refusing- he's doing it well apparently. Then, due to his good behavior, he's set to get the 4 month early release (Mom knocks on wood here) so that would be mid-Feb. That isn't too bad- our sd's start the second half of the school year right around that time. Still, difficult child has been locked up since Feb. 2 (awaiting trial and them committing him to psychiatric hospital for 6 weeks), so if he got out mid-Jan, I can't see that it would be any less effective than holding him another month. The kid that is in for murdering his grandmother at 14yo was given an enormous amount of time (justifiably so) to start out with but he has been such a model that every couple of years when he goes before some sort of review board, he has gotten them to knock off years from his overall sentence so he expects to get released in his 20's or 30's now (he is currently 18yo). I figure if they are knocking time off for him, they might knock one more month off for difficult child- he is 14 yo right now. As far as them not telling me, as it turned out it's ok. But they had no way to know it would turn out this way. What if a kid does end up dieing? If they let the parent know that they are in route to the ER as soon as a situation happens, at least the parent has a chance of getting there and seeing their kid before they die. And Department of Juvenile Justice or not, if my kid was dieing in the ER due to an incident that happened at Department of Juvenile Justice, I'd plow over who ever to get to him and see him. Their Department of Juvenile Justice guards might have to shoot me to stop me. A little Occupational Therapist (OT): I found a card to send difficult child - it says "In the midst of change, we often discover wings we never knew we had. You may not be where you want to be yet, but you will get there. Your brave heart and strong spirit will prevail." [/QUOTE]
