[QUOTE="klmno, post: 40232, member: 3699"] You guys have been great! This forum is starting to feel like the family support that I've never gotten from my family. Anyway, a few more specific questions- 1) I tried to get an attorney on board but they haven't gotten back to me- where can I look to get a decent, knowledgable one, without going thru the yellow pages- I'm reluctant to pick one just because they advertise as an education related attny; 2) what are the odds of being successful going thru due process? I'm so frustrated I can't see straight- 1) school- trying to play me for a fool just to get him out and thinking they can walk away without providing him an education some other way, 2) the investigator who made him think he befriended him when there was a TINY brush fire and the investigator came thru the neighborhood buddying up with the kids and handing out his phone #- so my kid calls and leaves a message and the investigator returns the call, leaving a message on our machine specifically for my son, so I call the investigator to try to find out what is going on but he never once called me- until my son went out the next weekend and set the brush fire and he arrested my son. Believe it or not, my difficult child is one who would fall right into that trp and he did- he confessed everything he did to the investigator- the investigator even told me afterwards that he thinks my son has got some major issues going on. DUH!! I think this could have been prevented if the investigator had called me before. Anyway, this is the same one who didn't want charges reduced from a felony, even though there was less than $100 damage, because, 6 fire trucks were called. Also, when he was questioning my difficult child, my difficult child said he thought he should have his mom there and they guy tells him they've been trying to reach me (for 4 hours) but can't find me. LIE!!! I was at the school having the manefestation hearing for 1 1/2 hour, then came home and wondered about my son's whereabouts until around 7:00 pm. Funny how the investigator showed up 5 mins after I left for that school meeting, huh? And 3) I'm so frustrated with my son I have doubts about how much defense I should provide him. He's been so cocky and abusive toward me the past few days that I would put him back in juvie and off this monitor, except he's 12 and the first thing he said when he was in the car after the judge let him out was " the older boys told me they wanted to *** me and they would get me in the shower".
