[QUOTE="WSM, post: 295011, member: 5169"] Third update: The CPS lady came this morning to get husband to sign a paper releasing all difficult child's medical and psychiatric records to her. husband asked her if she knew about the charges. She did and she supports them. She asked him what he was going to do. He said he'd been researching and wanted to ask the court for a child in need of services petition to ask for him to get some kind of services (but CHINS petitions only put the child under court jurisdiction for 14 days--and are not eligible for kids in the court system). CPS lady told husband it was too late for that. He asked her what he should do. She told him: 'nothing'. He got himself into this, he could get himself out. The judge will ask him what happened and let him work it out. husband said that the court has never asked him before, they'd always talked to him. She said, "They will this time." And said this was serious. He'd moved to the next level: drugs. Most kids at didn't get to this stage until age 14--and difficult child was only going to get worse, and she said, difficult child was going to drag husband and me and the rest of the family down with him. husband listened. She said, step back and let him deal with it. Explain what pleading guilty, not guilty and no contest means. If the court insists he get a lawyer, make him get a court appted one. She thinks he will plead not guilty and that he will be found guilty. She didn't say what she thought the penalty will be. husband is going to follow her advice, but he's devastated. "I'm kicking my son out at age 12." (husband does a lot of all or nothing thinking). I pointed out he's not being kicked to the curb, but if he wants to make adult decisions to do drugs, he gets to deal with the adult consequences. He's only being left on his own about this. But husband feels like ****, however, it looks like he's going to do the right thing. [/QUOTE]
