[QUOTE="DDD, post: 268337, member: 35"] It's 3 AM and I am sick...so my thinking may be messed up, lol. :blushing: Does it make sense to assume that the gangs, gang members and gang leaders where he now at the intake facility will not likely be at the new placement? If so, perhaps in your letter you can say "difficult child I'm proud that you making good decisions about many things, including gangs. Do remember that you are going to move to XYZ in a few weeks ? and in that new therapeutic environment we can hope there will be no gang issues so you can focus on your personal issues." Something like that could give him confidence to keep away from the trouble makers since it is just a short while. I know next to nothing about gangs but even in our community there is one affiliation that outnumbers the others. It is a nationwide gang name and I gather they rule...in that realm. The thing is that if you joined that one here and then moved to another community...you might not have any friends at all since it is so regional. Perhaps that's true in Department of Juvenile Justice. The "best" gang where he is now may be pond scum at the next locale. That idea would keep me from joining, lol. by the way, I would vote that the lady knows the consequences best. Where we live...in the school world and in the incarceration world you throw a punch you are responsible. Time in lockdown is given in Department of Juvenile Justice and in the local jail. Suspension in school. Even if it is self defense. I assume it is because it is a "he said, they said" situation so a blanket rule is easiest. DDD [/QUOTE]
