[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 747876, member: 21066"] I agree with Kathy. I wouldn't be in a hurry to get him out of juvenile detention. Let the professionals deal with him as long as they will. Here is why: Your son sounds very much like a kid in my extended family. The judge didn't put him in juvenile detention for his antics. He dropped out of high school, got his girlfriend pregnant, and sells dope. He was evicted for his behavior, so he went to live with his grandparents who also evicted him. Then, he reluctantly got a job at McDonald's which he quit. He reads at a third grade level and refuses to get a driver's license. Assault charges were filed against him. He has wrecked multiple cars. He cannot pay child support. He isn't allowed to see his son because the mom, understandably, thinks the child is better off not knowing his father. There isn't much time left to help your son. By staying in juvenile detention as long as possible, he might learn self control and not become a criminal. I don't know if my family member would have turned out differently if he had been sent to juvenile detention, but I tend to think a few things would have been prevented. [/QUOTE]
