[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 115484, member: 2063"] Well, difficult child 2 has been adjudicated juvenile delinquant. Before they do the disposition (sentence) they are changing the venue. They are coming to our home county. This really upsets me. The only juvenile judge in our county does not take into consideration anything but what the dhs case worker says. And at this point she is not listening to anyone but what I think are the voices in her head. She originally wanted him to go back to the program he was in that he ran from. They won't take him back. Thankfully. So it looks like he will end up in one of the state training schools (kid prison is the translation there). This is not going to help him. He needs a treatment program. For some reason no one seems to care. We are doing battle. Our attorney is going to see what he can come up with. I have also been doing research on other options. Not that they will listen to me (I mean why would they I am only his mom) that way I can bring it up in court so at least there will be a transcript of it. I have been doing a lot of looking. The unfortunate thing is JSO (juvenile sex offender) programs are not easy to look up in my area. I realize they need to have security and privacy for the kids but no one seems to want to give a parent in search of the best place for her son any information. Our dhs worker claims she really doesn't know of too many. That seems to be a crock. The irony is after having talked to one of the people at GFG1s facility she is going to have her consultant look into it. How ironic is that. She gave me a couple of places to look into off the top of her head and said she would check into other things. This is going way beyond her duty. I told her how much we appreciate everything she does for difficult child 1 and the effort she is putting in for us on this. She said she feels so bad for all that we have had to battle that she wishes she could do more. We so found the right place for difficult child 1 there. I am scared that if the send him to the place they are talking of that they will just let him out at 18 and then we will be screwed. We are just now getting the reports from the neuropsychologist and other evaluations. In them it reccommends "treatment" so maybe we will be able to includ them in the court records to get something more done. It also says he will probably need treatment into adulthood. So I have a feeling this is going to be a bumpy ride. Thanks for asking. At the moment we are in the holding pattern. He is locked in the JDC (Juvenile Detention Center) and kept mostly in isolation for his own safety at this time. I can't bring myself to call him there. husband does the check ins to see how he is. We are going to have to plan a visit soon. I really am not looking forward to this. But alas not a choice. I do know that if he complains I will end the visit.
