[QUOTE="klmno, post: 371999, member: 3699"] I just got off the phone with PO. I'm going to file charges for the theft, this will ensure the judge knows HOW difficult child stole the money. More disturbing, difficult child told PO that he'd been letting people put cigs out on his bare skin and burning him. PO finally agrees that difficult child needs more and treatment MIGHT help. I told him if he's waiting for difficult child to understand his problems, ask for help for them, and care enough about himself to pursue it, it will never happen. The only option is to give it to him or keep throwing him away by incarceration and I'm not throwing away my 15 yo son. He says the only route to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is by placing difficult child into dss howver, dss is required to place any kid coming into their system with a amily member first if they can get a family member to take the kid and we already know about my bro being listed with dss for this. Department of Juvenile Justice only has two group homes left and they are both for older teens. This led to me venting about the previous situation where I had funding lined up for an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) without difficult child having to go thru dss but the court people wouldn't let that happen so I'd like to know why the previous PO and GAL can't be held accountablle because their option obviously didn't work. Of course, they can't so it was venting for nothing. He says the only option is to send difficult child back to Department of Juvenile Justice. I asked him to make sure the judge finds out about difficult child letting other people put cigs out on his body. He's going to call me back after he finds out how I can file charges on difficult child so it will get into their system before the arraignment in the morning. [/QUOTE]
