[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 31444, member: 3485"] I picked up difficult child from the rehab center this morning for her court date on a possession of paraphernalia with residue charge. This was a rescheduled date; she missed last time and had a warrant hanging over her. She was jumpy as all get out on the way there. When she saw the policeman who had arrested her there in court and the clerk told her to be seated and [i]not to leave[/i] she broke down; she was positive she was going to prison. It turned out that the policeman was there purely by coincidence (well, actually, I don't believe in coincidences, I think a lot of prayer was involved) on a completely unrelated matter. He recognized her and talked to her for a while about getting her life back together and said he was glad she was in rehab and she better not blow it. The policeman (wish I'd thought to get his name) is the stereotypical hard-bitten cop with a heart of gold. In the end they cut her a break, big time. 24 hours community service and the charge will be dismissed. I overheard the state's attorney and our cop saying those very words, "cut her a break". Sometimes things happen that really restore your faith in the system and your fellow human beings, and your faith in faith, so to speak. [/QUOTE]
