[QUOTE="klmno, post: 267056, member: 3699"] Hey, DDD! I won't be going to the staffing meeting- the meeting I was referring to is with the parole officer. He's located at our county Department of Juvenile Justice (the court and probation and detention area). difficult child is at the state Department of Juvenile Justice- where the staffing meeting will be on Tuesday. Supposedly, the parole officer needs me to sign some agreement with him about preparing for difficult child's program and conditions upon return home beofre the staffing meeting. I know that makes no sense but I did read online that this is Department of Juvenile Justice's policy. They claim it's because they start planning the transition home upon the official admittance into state Department of Juvenile Justice. The way I look at it, they are saying I have to sign an agreement when they haven't even told me what the transition plan is. I might not sign it- which I'm sure won't go over well. But I don't do well backed into a corner. The thing is, once I sign it, then I can be held accountable in court for not doing whatever the parole officer requires- and that includes if he orders mst and the mst guy says meet him at 4:00 every Tues and Thurs and I can't- as an example. But those details won't be written in the agreement, so basicly, I think the agreement is a blanket commitment to do whatever this guy tells me to do. It isn't like adult probation/parole where the requirements pertain to the offender only- these people put more on the parent than they do the kid. on the other hand- you could be right- maybe he will tell me what the decisions for difficult child are. But, they all claim that those aren't finalized and announced until the staffing meeting. I don't know that anything they will do could surprise me at this point. [/QUOTE]
