[QUOTE="Steely, post: 162755, member: 3301"] Not meaning to be offensive - because I know you have gone through hades and back - But what is it exactly you wanted the judge to do? Lock him up? Chances are he would not "learn his lesson" through this. Do you know that once a kid is in jail, or a person, their likelihood of returning is something like 85%? I really don't think you want him to be in another number in the justice system - you really want him to get on the right track. I would partner with this judge and see how you can help him do that. The more he returns to jail, the more likely he is to adapt, and repeat the same behaviors of criminals. I believe the goal is to keep him out of jail, so he does not learn anymore criminal like behaviors, and to try and set the groundwork of success at home. I know it is hard - but prison has only one track record of consequence setting and life changing for our kids - 15%. The rest is up to us. [/QUOTE]
