[QUOTE="klmno, post: 499901, member: 3699"] I went to bed early and just got up- I don't know why but I guess between the bad tooth and this issue, I am requiring a whole lot of sleep lately- more than 8 hours per night. Anyway, I'll try to work on the documentation a little after work today and finish it this weekend - I'm waiting to go to the media. I thought it might be better to wait until I get responses from Department of Juvenile Justice (or don't get any repsonses at all) before I go to the media so they can be informed of how these people handled my complaints. difficult child is thinking this could get him to come straight home- I doubt it and alsthough I'm writing in my letters that I'd prefer he come home than go to a long term GH that is actually another sanction, I'm fighting more for what I asked for to begin with- a short term placement that focuses on reunification. But more than that- his PO and super to be held accountable and start doing their job the way they are supposed to. Re the candy- difficult child's story is that they are allowed to have it in whatever place (school, the room they go to for privileges like movies and games, and religious services) but they aren't supposed to bring it back to the unit. According to him, everyone aslways has bbrought it back to the unti and it was never enforced not to until yesterday. He said other boys got set back further than him, but he was made a "leader" in his unit a couple of weeks ago and considered the furthest along. Now what I find interesting is that the behav couns who is also the one giving the anger management courses/group therapy had fallen way behind where should should have been in that course due to many, many ansences thru the holidays because of an illness then death in her family. She had been doubling up to try to catch up to meet the deadline in 2 weeks so difficult child and others could be released the 2nd week of Feb. Then suddenly, they are all pushed back 2 weeks or more. It sure seems convenient for her to now have 2 weeks more to finish this course, doesn't it? difficult child said other staff told him to talk to the director there about it. I told him follow proper procedure for a grievance. He said they are no longer allowing them or giving them info on filing a grievance to anyone except the director there. i find that interesting, too- it didn't used to be that way. Of course, I'm also wondering if difficult child is telling this the way it really is- maybe he knew he'd get in trouble for bringing the candy to the unit and he's sabatoging the release date because I know he cringes over the thought of a long term GH placement, yet he didn't want to do anything really bad to get in big trouble. This program just isn't anywhere close to being a comfortable fit for either of us- it seems as bad an idea, or maybe worse even, than his committment to Department of Juvenile Justice the first time.
