[QUOTE="bertie, post: 176302, member: 965"] You're right, it can get very complicated....most of the charges the first time around for him - this is the second - were brought by my daughter (his half sister), who also lives in that area. She has jealousy issues and will do anything to get him into trouble, and she really did it to him that time. Domestic violence, harassment, threats were claimed by her and they were trumped-up charges. Poor difficult child never saw it coming. He's very gullible and young for his age. I was actually wondering this morning if I should bring him back to CA. At least that way I can get him onto the services he needs (right now he's on his girlfriend's DSHS, which needs to change) and I still have all of his medications down here, of which I have a big supply. Also if he's here (Silicon Valley), there is better public transportation and many, many more jobs than in his present country/rural area. Unfort he'd have to live with me at first which would be rough, but I would have strict rules and boundaries. I realize I could be going from the frying pan into the fire with this one. He does have charges pending in WA and he needs to be in court this Friday, then will be sentenced probably next month. Not sure how much time he will do; his attorney seems pretty confident that he can get him off most of the charges because his Miranda Rights weren't done by the book. I would fly him back for that, with his trust money and if he has to do jail time, he'd do it up there, then probably come back here - if I go with this scenario. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
