[QUOTE="klmno, post: 260308, member: 3699"] Thanks, Ladies! I didn't know that about Judge Mathis. My concern is that if difficult child stays in there long term, he will never learn how to function any better ITRW. Really, how can he go from juvy prison straight into adulthood and be able to make it? He'd be right back in incarceration in no time. I honestly believe this is how so many end up not knowing any other way. It was the staff at detention that told difficult child he'd probably get 3-6 mos. His defense attny told him 18 mos max- and he used the formula. But, it is different if this assault is listed as the current charge and the others as prior charges, than if they are all listed as current charges. That is why I called the attny to ask about it. The first order written up (by the clerk) didn't list it that way. It's not the first thing the clerk in court has written out oddly or with a mistake. Shoot, he might have better off if I'd never noticed the malicious wounding charge written with the others listed as previous charges. Anyway, I can see maybe giving him 6-12 mos. But 3 years, well, words can't even describe it- not for a kid this age and not for what he did. People are saying, "well, he hurt you". No, he threatened me and scared the carp out of me and made me absolutely livid. But he didn't cut me. I do want him to have consequences, don't get me wrong, but 3 years would take any shred of hope I have left and crush it. The objective was to teach him a lesson and put a stop to it- not ruin his life. He's never done that much to anyone else, but less hurt someone else. Do you know that there are sexual abusers who get less time than that? Oh the PO- I won't get on much of a soapbox tonight, but isn't it funny how she's the one that made sure there was not local detention option for the judge and she's the one who made sure that difficult child was committed to state juvy, yet she was also telling difficult child it was my fault. If my son dies before me, well....I won't even go there. I am glad to learn they have the point system at this place, too- I hope they have it wherever he ends up going (he's at this place 30-45 days). Maybe it could help turn him around if it's a reasonable time that he's in. But keeping him until he's 17yo - - I'm just telling myself that we've heard 18 mos, 3-6 mos, and now up to 36 mos, but we don't really know yet and have to wait 4 weeks to find out. The sad part is that it will be a freaking computer that calculates it. [/QUOTE]
