[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 662881, member: 12856"] Copa, Thank you for your kind response. I met with the independent ombudsman that oversees the juvenile justice correctional department. They have a copy detailing the "alleged" abuse. I have an attorney who is now our representative in the follow through with them. I also have the ACLU, NAACP, and the Rio Grande Project working on this complaint as well as dredging up other unanswered documented complaints from other parents and youth, and those are just from the central Texas parents support group for incarcerated youth. I have been in counseling for years dealing with PTSD. You would think that I would feel like I was doing everything in my power to do something about it, not just for my son, but any kid whose bad decisions land them behind bars, but it doesn't. All of that ,and him being where he is, is not going to make a bit of difference if he can't or won't change. This is the part that has me stuck right now. I understand that it is up to him. I understand that I can't change him. I understand that he does not think like the majority of law abiding citizens. My prayer is that he learns from this. [/QUOTE]
