[QUOTE="DDD, post: 93253, member: 35"] Our experiences have not been as bad as Loan Ranger but they have been bad. We were naive. We honestly are educated people who are or were considered sophisticated. We "thought" that the system for juveniles was set up to guide the teen back to the right path and provide support to the family in achieving that goal. We were wrong. Some people in our Board family did have positive results and still find it hard to believe that those of us who have been hurt by the system have shared the correct and full story. Why? Because it doesn't make any sense to be afraid of your police, the States Attorneys, the Judges when you live in America and in a community that is basically decent and often seen as faith-=based. The police LIE to the children and it is legal. The police CAN interview teens without the parents present and without any legal counsel. Our son had been raised to tell the truth. Boy, the authoriites loved that. When he asked the 2nd time he got into trouble "can I call my grandparents or get an attorney?" he was told "yes, you can a little bit later but right now we're just talking so there is nothing to worry about". One friend on this Board had her son adjudicated as a felon at 17 because the "nice detective" asked her husband if he would mind leaving the room for a couple of minutes. He agreed to get a cup of coffee. Her son will be a felon for life. That was in the midwest. In Florida we prearranged that our son would go to the Courthouse with his Grandad to sign some papers that our attorney agreed needed to be signed. Once there, they politely told my husband (who had just been diagnosed with cancer, by the way) that they were taking easy child/difficult child down the hall for a minute and would be right back. NOT! They put him in a police car and drove him to the next County to the Juvenile detention center. An hour later my husband was informed that our boy was gone. We now 100% agree with the above post. Tell your child to remain silent. Period. They will pressure him. Tell him to keep his mouth shut. It's probably too late now but I really wish you good luck. Just don't trust "them". DDD [/QUOTE]
