My Mom and Sister have taken over the task of a show of family support, although neither agree to bail her out or provide shelter for her. My sister's been taking the collect calls from jail. difficult child has told my sister that they added a ring to the theft accusation, they set bond at 10 grand (1,000 bail) and they want difficult child's suitcases out of there. difficult child also said she pi$$ed off the judge at her arraignment by saying, "yeah, but..." instead of just yes and no. Same old difficult child behavior. So tomorrow is visiting time and my sister will go get her suitcases and she will talk with her. I told her to tell difficult child she should request to see a social worker for her mental conditions and ask to speak to her attorney and to remember that she has to sign releases to share any info. difficult child's court date is set for April 11, so she will have to remain in jail 8 days unless someone else bails her out. <u>No one that we know is willing to pay her bail to get her out</u>. We all know her aim is to take off to see her boyfriend. I also read about this county jail expanding recently so they could accommodate more female prisoners since they've had an overflow in the past which resulted in some being released earlier and lower bails set. No more breaks for overcrowding -- they now have plenty of room to keep her now and if she is convicted. Since she is locked up in jail, she's unable to get in touch with-boyfriend who certainly is wondering where she is. Shes not asked my sister to call him but I am sure she would refuse anyway. I think difficult child is planning on sending him a post card as soon as she can and if I am not mistaken, it will be marked as coming from an inmate. She doesn't want the boyfriend's parents to know shes in jail, so she will be taking a chance if she sends a postcard to him. Maybe she doesn't think his parents will see it. I don't know. I keep reminding my family that she is safe, warm and being fed in jail and she might just be forced to get services while in there but who knows if she will even cooperate or ask? My Mom worries more than anyone else. She's watched too much news stories and movies and she's afraid for difficult child, even thinks difficult child might come out of there worse off than when she went in. I don't think so. I tell her what you parents on here have to say because she doesn't have internet. So thank you once again for your kind support. Don't know what I would do without you. I know my posts aren't very helpful but perhaps someone can gain some useful info or support through reading them. Many heartfelt (((hugs))) to you also!!! I have shed many tears reading your stories also!!!!!!!!! In case you didn't know. You're NOT alone. I pray for you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
