[QUOTE="klmno, post: 306445, member: 3699"] hr- My son has been locked up since early Feb.- at first that was just awaiting his court date but the detention center sent him to a psychiatric hospital (psychiatric hospital) for six weeks, then he went to trial and was committed to state Department of Juvenile Justice. He received 15-21 months as a sentence because he had been in previous trouble. He can get out earlier than though for good behavior and he is doing very well so far so we expect him to be released in Feb. He will be on parole then and that's the part I worry about most because our legal people around here just don't seem "get it". Really, they don't even seem to have common sense. I'm talking about probation and parole officers, gaurdian ad litems, etc. If your son has only been in the youth home since Aug. 1, I doubt he's had enough time to change, but it sounds like you know that. Is this group home for behavior issues or more of a shelter? Either way, my guess is that you are wise to advocate for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement. Is it a psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC) where they have to earn their way to release? Those are hard to find but I've heard they are the best. Have you explored the other forums here on the board yet? Feel free to check around - you might find some of the news articles interesting and the Watercooler (WC) fun. Also, you get some pointers from the Parent Emeritus area. [/QUOTE]
