[QUOTE="Star*, post: 127717, member: 4964"] I have found a group home/I talked to the director/I told her ALL and I mean ALL about Dude - she said to have our caseworker send in the application. I called caseworker yesterday - they are not helping a bit. DF figures that they feel we are able to handle him and will drag this out till he's 18 - and then dump his case. I fear he could be right. So Tuesday I have to take him to probation- my options are: Pay 605.00 in back fines that he really didn't understand he owes or allow him to go to jail. If he goes back - the chances are that he'll spend 6 years in adult prison for bogus charges are about 100%. If he goes back - hes' done. He'll get a Public Defender for his upcoming case - but there will be no contact or interventions with parents or caseworkers pleading his case. There will be no services for him and he'll get out of prison 23 no education - (prison will not help him with GED like he needs) and he'll have no job. That means that he would seek me and DF out for a couch or place to stay and the nightmare continues. If we pay the $605.00 - at probation Tuesday - we keep him out of jail until his new court date - we have to get him into a group home (because if he's not in a foster care situation WE pay (court ordered) for his attorney to the tune of $25,000.00 to start. And either way I am out a buttload of money that I can't afford. At least if we pay the $605.00 NOW - this gives caseworkers a chance to get him into a group home setting, that will help him get a job and he'll be able to pay for his own probation. Oh did I mention we have to drive dang near to NC for this? ARGH...... I told DF this morning - just go buy another lock. difficult child called me after getting out of school and has denied ALL the allegations of my necklaces and stuff being moved. ARGh ARGH> [/QUOTE]
