[QUOTE="buddy, post: 577370, member: 12886"] Yes, they are certainly vulnerable. Kids like Q? of course it is pretty obvious he would believe everything and needs guardianship but kids like difficult child are in such a place to fall through the cracks. Our society can do better. I wish the system was fixable. I wrote (and lost) a post in another thread about a boy my legal disablity advocate is working with who when 14 was suspended multiple times from a terrible sp ed school in the twin cities metro. He was borderline IQ, African American and placed there at the time for behavioral concerns related to his disabilities. They would suspend him and cut him loose. No one called to pick him up or anything. SO...he was prime for the gangs. they "befriended" him and had him hold guns and drugs while they committed robberies etc. and when they got caught he had all the stuff and they blamed him. He had NO ability to make plans like that. Legal aid has tried to help and now he turned 18. He had been convicted and was in juvie and the mom had been told he would go to her. They then declared him dangerous (he never hurt anyone, no one was hurt in any of the crimes) and he is now in a state mental hospital for good. His mom has been fighting but it does not look good. A throw away kid. It makes me sick. He just wanted friends and not to be alone. He was such an easy target. [/QUOTE]
