[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 259506, member: 6479"] Sigh. I'm not sure what my "not being a parent" has to do with this. I gave you the exact same advice as [B]Crazy[/B][I][B]. [/B][/I]:happy: All I meant was either your difficult child isn't quite being honest (whether intentionally or not!), or the Department of Juvenile Justice worker [U]needed[/U] to be reported. And that the words of the Department of Juvenile Justice worker didn't have anything to do with you GAL or PO. You made it clear that your GAL hasn't had any contact with the people over at detention, so I was confused why you were bringing her into this new issue. Also---GALs represent the legal interests of children. They're not guardians, and I can't imagine a situation in which a GAL would voluntarily visit a detention center to visit a child that has no pending legal case, to inform the workers there of facts of the situation that they SHOULD already be aware of. With your difficult child's history, the Department of Juvenile Justice worker was out of line. But how on earth would the GAL have known that conversation had taken place? Or know that Department of Juvenile Justice was disregarding his medical history, which from what you've said, is clearly documented? It confused me. That's all. But having read DDD's post, I find myself 100% in agreement---that's maybe a better way to phrase what I was trying to say---Sis never hears what people say in the way that they mean it. It's always warped to fit whatever HER view of the situation is. Which is so much fun--can't tell you the number of times I had to explain why her teachers don't hate her, or why Mom and I do, in fact, love her, and why she was "mishearing" us. [/QUOTE]
