Attny and I were waiting in lobby and they came and told us twice that they were having trouble getting VC in place- Department of Juvenile Justice facility where difficult child is must be running late. Then we get called in and before I even finished sitting in my chair, PO says "difficult child, as I just told you, we have decided you are going to GH placement". So apparently not only were they BS me about this being cast in stone, they were also BSing about wanting to talk to difficult child alone first to reconsider, and they BS'd attny when PO told her yesterday that it wasn't cast in stone.
And they first claimed difficult child could be out as early as 3 mos but I raised point that reentry lady had said that was impossible- reentry lady wasn't there of course. Attny asked super to go call and see. Super comes back and says earliest is 3 to 6 mos. I don't buy that- neither does attny, for sure. Reentry lady had said 6-8 mos and probably longer for difficult child. (Reentry lady is asst director of this program that runs the group hoome.) She says she's going to try to contact director of reentry program and asked him. Then I was told how great it would be because parents are allowed to take kid oiut on day passes after a short period, etc. Hum, no again- reentry lady told me after 30 days kid gets a day pass to go on a group outing with GH people. And then when difficult child is out of GH, he has min 90 followup intensive services in the home. Attny said they are just saying whatever to be evasive and they haven't looked into anything.
I told her I know there is nothing legally that can be done, but if POs are ordering things that they haven't even checked into for kids whose files they haven't even looked at, I call that incompetent. She said she did too but there's nothing that can be done.
