[QUOTE="klmno, post: 555157, member: 3699"] I'd also like to know if this is juvenile probation or adult. If it's juvenile, you can be pulled in, too, so be very careful- it's a catch 22 and Star and DDD are correct about their perceptions of many of them. That being said, it sounds like your son 1) missed a meeting with his PO, 2) left the jurisdiction without the PO's knowledge or permission, and 3) ignored contact with his PO. That alone, even if he didn't do anything else, is plenty enough to violate him and take him before a judge. If I understand correctly, he's been living in another jurisdiction and never informed the PO to transfer his case???? Well, there's trouble. The PO would get into trouble if he/she didn't address that. PO's tend to think their main job is to tell people what to do- their authority in that area is actually limited*. Their primary job is to "monitor" where people are and what they are doing (working vs breaking the law, for example) and that is what they can take someone before a judge on, quickly. At least that has been my experience as a parent of a juvenile who's been in the system for 6 years. *The authority is limited unless ordered by a judge at the trial/in court or unless it's actually parole instead of probation AND the requirement was a condition of being released on parole. They can require either employment or full-time enrollment in school for a certain period of time in order to be released from probation/parole. [/QUOTE]
