[QUOTE="klmno, post: 268501, member: 3699"] It's a little like that here but a little different. Points like that are used for determining whether or not a kid is held in detention (being the local Department of Juvenile Justice system) until a trial. With our state system, even though difficult child did his time/punishment for crimes he committed 3 years ago and he was not committed to the state for these when he went to court in March, they use a system where they determine the LOS for the committing offenses, then add more time on because he had those misdemeanors 3 years ago. I guess it's simialr to a judge saying "well, you didn't learn your lesson the fuirst time, so I'll give you the max time instead of the shortest this time". See, difficult child had 3 offenses from 2006 that he'd already paid the price for locally, he had 3 offenses from 2007 and 1 from 2008 that he had a suspended sentence for and 1 from this year. He was committed for the ones from 2007, 2008, and this year's and that would give him 12-18 mos. Then, they added 3 mos on because he had the 3 from 2006. (Believe it or not, he actually had about 3 others in there that the judge completly swept under the rug- not dismissed but they never got addressed or logged in as guilty offenses. That's ok- they were part of his crime spree where he ended up being charged on 7 counts for 1 incident.) [/QUOTE]
