[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 460742, member: 12721"] Niece popped back into the house around 930pm. An hour after curfew. I asked her why, and she simply says "because, it's only 930". Ugh. I then proceeded to ask her if "something" is going on that she wants to talk about and to not be afraid to talk to someone if something IS going on or bothering her. She doesn't know we know what she did. Told her, don't be afraid to talk to my Mom, Me, counselor...anyone. She didn't say much about what I was saying but maybe she still heard me. Mom decided to contact the town's juvenile officer this AM and he was kind of a jerk. He said it's not his job to make kids listen to their parents. All Mom wanted him to do was put a bit of a "scare" into her.. take a little time out of his life and talk to her. Last year my niece ran off and Mom had the cops go get her and the cops had a little talk with her and that scared her straight because she realized that she would not be able to go back and live with her Mom.. so she'd go to placement if she didn't want to stay at my Mom's. But the juvenile officer said he will contact the court diversion program person to see if niece could get into that. I guess her friend just went through it- but it obviously didn't do much for her- possibly because her parents don't pay much attention or enforce rules. Maybe since my Mom pays attention and has rules, it will help, maybe it won't. [I]There is a meeting set up on Friday for Mom and Niece to meet with the court diversion person. Supposedly it's an "intervention" that teaches them to obey rules and respect parents.. Hmm. We'll see. The initial meeting it a "Facebook intervention". They restrict their access and change their password. Then they have to "earn" it back. This should be interesting and I am very weary since it seems to have done nothing for Niece's friend. [/I] No idea what's going to happen but it seems the odds are against us- until she spirals out of control and the juvenile officer CAN do something? Who knows. The system is very messed up. Instead of trying to stop bad stuff before it starts or gets worse, they only do something when someone gets hurt, commits a crime, kills someone, etc. :hangin: [/QUOTE]
