[QUOTE="200Meters, post: 747783, member: 23727"] I went to see Youngest in the hoosegow last Friday. Oldest & his girl friend met me there. I brought him clothes & a carton of cigarettes (you had to buy those from the prison canteen). Apparently Youngest used most of the latter to repay various "debts" he had racked up in the remand center from other remandees. He was in a good enough mood. We were back in the Jerusalem (yeah, we live in Israel) Magistrate Court yesterday morning at 10:30. The judge accepted the welfare officer's report & said that Youngest could [B][I][U]not[/U][/I][/B] be released to house arrest with Oldest and Oldest's girlfriend, pending the decision on what to do with him, even with an electronic ankle thinggie. He said that we should all meet again on April 30 and see if the residential treatment program for troubled teens that he is thinking about moving Youngest to has place for him. If not, his honor said then he would reconsider about sending Youngest to his brother while some other option is explored. He asked about alternatives for house arrest & the pd reminded him that there aren't any. I wanted to jump up on the effing table and shout that my wife & I moved here (over 30 years ago) and have absolutely no family here except for Oldest & Youngest. The pd told Oldest & his girl friend not to drive back to where they live but to stay in Jerusalem since he was going to appeal to the Jerusalem District Court, which is the next higher court. He also said that if we had another magistrate's court judge would have certainly approved it. We were at the district court at 15:00. I got the impression that the judge there was not so keen on the magistrate's court judge's ruling. However, he wasn't unkeen to overturn the lower court's ruling. I know that Youngest is a thief & a burglar ans that stealing and breaking in to places are unacceptable. And that if Youngest weren't a thief & a burglar we would not be in this predicament and we / he have no one to blame but him. I get all that. But I really do not understand what the welfare office & the magistrate's court judge have against sending Youngest to his brother's during this interim period ahead of his sentencing especially if he has an ankle thinggie with an effing GPS in it!! They can follow his every move. It cannot be to punish him since he has not been sentenced yet. If he violates the house arrest (kinda hard to do with a GPS on his ankle and with Oldest's tough cookie of a girlfriend) then they can throw him back in the slammer. This means that Youngest will be spending the whole of Passover (starts tomorrow night) in the clink! Passover is an extremely big deal among Jews in general & among orthodox Jews (like Mrs. 200Meters & me) in particular. Holiday joy? Passover spirit? Yea, whoppee. Four cups of wine? (We drink four cups of wine on Passover eve.) Give me four cups of effing vinegar! Actually, I'll drink four cups of wine. You can drown a lot with four cups of wine. What kind of Passover will Youngest have? So Mrs. 200Meters & I and, and Oldest, are all kinda depressed. Just serve me a double helping of bitter herbs! (See [URL='http://www.jewfaq.org/holidaya.htm'][U]this[/U][/URL].) I went to the postal bank and put money into Youngest's account at the prison canteen. When Youngest was about 4, Mrs. 200Meters went off to Europe for a week for work. Youngest and I were sitting on our bed playing cards. We played "War" which is a great game to teach very young children about numbers, sequences, etc. At one point, I threw a king & he threw a queen. He went to take the cards. I said, "wait a minute. Those are [I]my[/I] cards." He said, "The queen has more power." I asked him how he figured that. He said, "You listen to Mommy." Ouch; nailed by a 4-year-old. I let him take the cards. I want that sweet kid back. Mrs. 200Meters says that youngest is like a lemon. No, not in the automotive sense. In the sense that lemons actually have a lot of sugar in them, more than watermelons relative to their size. But the sugar is hidden by all the acid. When you cook lemons, the sweetness comes out. We know that sweet kid is in there somewhere. If being in the pokey & then going to wherever the court sends him help cook the acid out, so much the better. 200Meters [/QUOTE]
