[QUOTE="klmno, post: 479764, member: 3699"] DJ, I think I'm just done. I can't imagine going along with more PO koi- monthly check-ins with me and 90 day face to face meetings with me while my son is in Department of Juvenile Justice- for what reason when I didn't break the law? And if I don't do it, there's a required court date for me not 'supporting the system'- don't expect me to be there. I mean, if 'they have custody of my son even while he's on parole' then why do you need me? POs have no business making MH decisions for a kid and who on earth can explain why he needs an ankle bracelet when he lives with me but not one if he's in a group home that has no staff awake 24/7 or has admitted they can't stop him from sneaking out at night or leaving school.? And this 'keeps the public safer" how? I'm sick of the buzz words when it's not even logical. How on earth could I 'buy into this'? I guess legally I will be abandoning my son. No reunification will ever take place on their terms and they can't let him off parole until they have him some place or on his own and he's shown that he will abide by the law in that setting. For whatever reason, half of the requirements it takes to show 'success' are removed if a kid goes any place else to live besides home. And then if the kid re-offends, they say it's because the family abandoned him. [/QUOTE]
