[QUOTE="Merris, post: 16330, member: 849"] I got a call yesterday from the victim advocate and she told me that the prosecutor in my son's case wants probation, psychiatric treatment, drug treatment and evaluation. No mention of continued jail time. She asked me what I want as the victim and I said treatment absolutely! I did the happy dance for about 1/2 hour and then I called attorney. He said that it doesn't sound right because the last time he talked to them they wanted more jail time and maybe the advocate made a mistake. He said I should call him at 8:30 this morning. I am so afraid. The last offer the prosecution made was 2 years in jail, 10 years suspended and 5 years probation. I'm hoping that the prosecutor finally got a chance to read his psychiatric files and realized that difficult child needs help. I'm so afraid they are going to take this relief away.... I pray and hope that this is all true and difficult child will finally get what he needs. I don't know what kind of psychiatric treatment they want, inpatient or outpatient, but I will find a way to get him whatever treatment he needs and they want. I am tremoring out of control now because I am afraid they will tell me they were wrong. difficult child turns 18 tomorrow. doctor says that they are going to move him to the adult prison and he is terrified that he will be beaten up again or raped. Please pray, rattle beads, cross your fingers and toes that my difficult child will finally get the help he needs as opposed to sitting in jail, in fear, and not getting any help. Thank you for being there for me. [/QUOTE]
