[QUOTE="klmno, post: 506894, member: 3699"] No, I'm not in Texas. Yes, there have been changes in both me and difficult child. First for me- I no longer have to travel for my job and teh temp situation of job contract has changed and we are currently being led to believve that we will get a 3-5 year contract. difficult child is not offending in Department of Juvenile Justice like he was last summer. PO is supposed to know these things because they are told to him and this is the whole reason a difficult child's parent has to stay in contact with a PO of their kid in this state, even thru the kid's i9ncarceration. I know I asked for services and for out-of-home placement and I'm sticking to that however, not just "any" placement but a parole plan that actually addresses our issues. That might seem unreasonable but given that these people refused to go along with previous MH profs recommendations and that didn't turnn out so well, I'm thinkging some cookie cutter repsonse isn't going to cut it. I'm not expecting to dictate what they are but they darn well better be in complaince with the law and I expect these people to read the flippin file first and when there is reentry funding available, use it to help the kid instead of funnelling it to a program that doesn't even meet the objective. I don't mean to be hostile and am not angry with anyone here, but so many people who are in this state have no idea what is really going on with our kids and no one seems to care about these details that could make all the difference in the world in the outcome of our kids- and tons of money is being thrown at it while people providing "services" are allowed to keep "self-reporting". Buddy, I'm not a saint by any stretch of the imagination but I have shed tears for those kids who have no parent there to see what is going on. A nurse called me tonight from Department of Juvenile Justice. She said some boy hit my son to start a fight but they think he's ok- they'll check him again tomorrow am just to make sure there aren't additional bruises. My son was on the phone, trying to make a call. My son didn't do anything to fight back so he's not in trouble- my son's only statement was that he's trying to come home. Do you know that a 40 yo rapist or other type felon would have gotten half the sentence in this state that my son got? [/QUOTE]
