[QUOTE="DDD, post: 189006, member: 35"] I can not give guaranteed advice about anything to do with the courts BUT you have got to decide whether you are going to fish or cut bait. I do completely understand your position of having Dude be in charge of Dude. on the other hand, I would bet the family farm (if we had one), our business (which is not much of a money maker) and my much loved Explorer that Dude does not have the capacity to understand their system and protect himself if you can not do so. If you are going to fish...get copies of the medical records, get copies of the placement proofs, get statements from anyone who can verify that Dude did not, could not or would not do the crime. Most importantly get a notarized statement from Dude that he needs you to be fully informed of all steps and contact with the system AND would like all the authorities to discuss his case with him with you at his side. Will they allow all those safeguards? Heck, no. on the other hand, the attorneys will be officially on notice that Dude is not a little boy that they can mess with at will because he has an adult monitoring his best interests. I know how it worked for easy child/difficult child...every time they could do it, our diminished capacity kid was placed in a position where the PD, the DA and the so=called Judge expected (or pretended to expect) him to hold his own going against the two or three middle aged men with law degrees and at least twenty to forty more years of life experience. It is ugly. It will be stressful whether you fish or cut bait. I don't envy you. DDD [/QUOTE]
