[QUOTE="Peaceful, post: 111441, member: 4459"] Nancy, thank you so much for your assistance and sharing your experience. It was very kind. You've been thru a lot too. We're in Lake County. It's a smaller county and the intake supervisor is our city councilman and has done this for many years. He said she'd more than likely get some amount of days in husband which would likely be suspended depending upon her behavior and attitude that day. The charges do include violence - it's Disorderly Conduct/Threatening and Disturbing behavior. She'd be placed on probation as well. We also provided her treatment history and letters from the psychiatrist and therapist (actually she called) with recommendations from the professionals who've been working with her. I'm sure they have access to the false abuse report she made last year as well where Social Services did a full investigation and recommended she be held accountable. And finally we provided the police reports form the past 4 years from the Willoughby Police Dept (about 6 of them - some for violence etc). We've been told that she doesn't require an attorney at this point by her care team. We've a good friend who's tight with the juvenile prosecutor, and I'm comfortable with the representation should it come to that. I feel confident that they'll take our recommendations based on our experience with the police, social services, intake supervisor and their complete faith in our daughter's therapist who's the one who makes recommendations to the court for other juvies in the system. She and I are in complete accord with what needs to happen next. daughter'd have to hire an atty herself since she got herself into the situation. Just like if she were 18. She's extremely lucky we're in the county we're in. We're friends with Judge Trebets who presides over the mental health court for adults. She's been warned that another call to police for physical violence will result in a Domestic Violence charge and arrest and straight to husband. And we'll make the call if it comes to that. Her court date is Friday the 4th. I'll call the Intake Sup (our councilman) and the therapist and ask again if they think she needs an attorney. If it goes to the point of the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) I'll have daughter hire one for herself (with our guidance on who that should be). Or she can have the public defender. That's what people do who've been charged with something and have no money for an atty. We do Love & Logic parenting here and let her face the reality of her behaviors and attitudes and it's worked for us so far. I guess some call it tough love. I want her to be prepared to live her life despite her dxes when she's an adult and the time to practice what she needs is now while she's a juvenile. Thank you so very much for your thoughts and recommendations. Good luck with your daughter as well. Peaceful [/QUOTE]
