[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 522660, member: 11001"] Should have results by Monday. Honestly, we have been through 3 years of RTCs, therapy, court etc. I had to decide to let things go and let God take care of it. An expert witness would cost thousands as well as a lawyer. Right now we are just going to the Justice Court which is petty stuff. If it gets sent to Juvvenile court, yes I will have to wratchet up our defenses because the judge is scary. He has a stayed order to put her in secure care until she is 21.(In no way do I believe this will be helpful to her). She has not committed the level of crimes that sentence commands (Not making excuses it is legally true). Everything she has done has been directed at us, her family, and petty, until my son's car. This is not as petty because it was a beloved vehicle he restored and it was my son who has been so good to her. I believe she needs to suffer the consequences(just not 3 years in the JJS prison) We did have a letter sent from psychiatrist and psychiatric the last court go round (which we initiated because we wanted her in residential care because she was sexually acting out like crazy and not going to school). I also had a NAMI advocate which the judge promptly insulted. The advocate told me we would get nowhere with this judge because of his beliefs about mental illness and he was always frustrted with proactive parents like us who ask for services for their kids- he doesn't feel like the courts should do this, but that is how it is in our state.. We were able to get her into a DBT residential fascility but the process was horrid, she suffered medical neglect, and almost completed suicide as they left pills out that she could get to. Together with JJS we filed a complaint to the state. The place was in serious trouble after the investigation and had to fix many things and was then on watch. I don't want my kid back in this sytem. Our state has been sewed over the neglect in our system and just completed a 7 year period in which they were closely monitored by the Feds.
