[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 331406, member: 1514"] Well....I will be the voice of possibilities here. If you can get him on medications, either the shot or just the pills before court and even if the judge does order him into detention, it is moderately possible that you will be able to get them to continue his medications inside detention. I say moderately because jails/detentions are supposed to continue inmates current medications. If they are seeing a psychiatrist, then the inmate should make that request going in. Now at my local county jail I couldnt bring my sons medications in but at another county jail I could. Makes no sense to me but whatever. You would have to check with the local authorities as to what your jurisdiction allows. As far as whether detention or jail would work for a CD or ASP kid or even for some sort of PD-not otherwise specified kid...well...it seems to have worked in my sons favor. Nothing else got his attention like serving some time in jail. After serving a few stints of it, he really doesnt want to go back so he is doing all he can not to do so. Even though I tried telling him he was on the road there he never listened to me. I begged, I pleaded, I took him to counseling, I had him on so many medications it wasnt funny. He had to find out for himself. You remember how when they were little and you kept telling them the stove was hot? They wouldnt believe you until they touched it themselves? Thats my boy! [/QUOTE]
