[QUOTE="klmno, post: 197019, member: 3699"] Wow- unfortunately, I believe things like this happen more than we'd like to think. Our system is seriously broken. Our situation hasn't gotten quite to that point yet- but it easily could have and might still end up there. One thing you can do if you think there is something you'd like for the judge to do, is to request a hearing from the judge. You need to have a particular request in mind, but they can have a hearing where difficult child is not present- at least here. It's called an administrative hearing and the judge can change orders for the difficult child and over-ride the PO and the police. I'm trying to think how this could help you- if you want him removed from home right away, you would need to go through social services, since they already refused to hold him in juvy. However, the judge can revoke his probation for violating you and house rules. I'm thinking that you could discuss this with his therapist and/or psychiatrist (maybe without difficult child being in the room) and have them put in writing what they think he needs that the judge can order (mst services, Residential Treatment Center (RTC), a highly monitored level of probation, whatever), then request that hearing, get an attny, and present this to the judge. That [I]should[/I] get you some help. But either way, I definietly think you need his psychiatrist and therapist on your side, quickly. [/QUOTE]
