[QUOTE="klmno, post: 488838, member: 3699"] That's my hope, L- and that they get someone to scrutinize these CSU (court services unit) people- all they do now is have someone come in once a year to do a financial audit. That's it. That';s why it's so cliquish and they all cover each other's rear- just like PO will cover super, super covers PO and they both cover re-entry lady- of course she covers them because they are the ones recommending kids to her service. Buddy- first let me explain this- a kid is put on probation if he/she starts breaking the law and the judge is trying to keep the kid from getting committed to state Department of Juvenile Justice (juvie prison)- now that isn't the same as going to the local detention center (juvie jail) for a while. Anyway, if a kid is on probation and gets into trouble again, a judge can order a diversion in order to try to prevent a commitment to Department of Juvenile Justice. That diversion could be community service, a few weeks or mos in detention, or this group home where they have to work a program and 'earn' their way out. If the kid does that succesfully, the kid returns home and doesn't get committed to Department of Juvenile Justice. My son has been in Department of Juvenile Justice (juvie prison) twice. I was advocating for transitional services for him, as you know. That diversion program/group home had lost local/state funding but then got approved for fed funding to do a re-entry program for kids coming out of Department of Juvenile Justice incarceration. The website makes it obvious that the 're-entry' program they are giving is the EXACT same thing as the diversion program. So at one point, I asked the lady "if it didn't help keep your kids from going into Department of Juvenile Justice, how the HE!! do you think it's going to help them re-integrate back home and into the community". LOL! I know, I can't help it. It seems so stupid to me. The diversion program doesn't do squat to help a kid transition back ITRW. [/QUOTE]
