[QUOTE="Hopingforthe best, post: 558101, member: 12294"] Exhausted, I read your post and i don't have much advice but wanted to let you know you are in much thoughts and prayers. I can relate to some of the emotions your are going through because i was going through a similar situation a few weeks ago. My 20 yr old difficult child was a month into his probation when he decide not show up to report to the PO, ignored paying the probation fee and took off to New York with a "friend" who i later learned is a 28 year old drug dealer. difficult child was supposed to report on a thursday but instead called to say he was sick. The po told him to fax him a doctor's note or show up on friday but difficult child did neither. When failed to show up, a warrant was issued for his arrest. When the cop showed up to my house with the warrant- it was on a Monday, i called difficult child and told him about it and begged him to report, but he didn't until wednesday. The Po was furious. Two weeks prior to this, difficult child had been stopped driving aroung town with another "friend" and when the car stopped, the "friend" bolted out and ran because he had a gun, mind you my difficult child is on probation because of weapons possesion. Anyway, nothing was found on my son and he was let go but not before the cop reported the matter to his po. So the Po knew difficult child was still hanging around criminals. When difficult child showed up on wednesday, he was taken before a judge to answer for 4 violations. When the lawyer and i talked to the po while waiting for judge, he told us that difficult child was hanging around very dangerous people and didn't even realize it. He wanted to hold difficult child in prison for a few days and the judge wanted to hold him for sixty days. I talked to the judge about difficult child's problems with marijuana and we came to a compromise that if i could find a treatment centre, he could be released there. It took me a six days to find a place while difficult child was cooling his heels in prison. Ten days ago, we went before a judge and difficult child was released to me so i could take him to the rehab centre. He has been there for ten days now and is doing very well.

Back to your difficult child. When you go to court tommorrow, do you think if the po recommended difficult child be held in juvie for a few days, with your consent would help? [/QUOTE]
