[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 46929, member: 3527"] This sounds like a very difficult situation you are in!! WA must be VERY different from where I am, because I have been told, on multiple occasions, that if I EVER have problems with our difficult child refusing to go to school that I am to call the truancy officer and they will come to our house, get her out of bed and take her to school themselves....they said this can be done on a daily basis if necessary and they have NO problem whatsoever taking care of that for us. Granted, we have had ALL KINDS of problems getting her the help she needs once she DOES GET TO SCHOOL, we have NEVER had any problems getting help getting her TO school. Our difficult child's therapist actually forbid us from fighting her to get her to school. She allows us to give our difficult child 2 warnings and if she still refuses, we are to say NOTHING else to her about it, immediately call the truancy officer (or call the school and they will send the officer over) and let them take her so that we don't have to battle with her over it. I would think that with a truancy letter from the court and all of that, this would just make this process even MORE important for the officers to be involved, but them giving you the crap that "it isn't their problem" is ridiculous. Maybe trying to do a quick online search and find out what the TRUE responsibilities of the truancy officers in your state would be a good idea at this point. That way, IF this is required of them, you will have basis to fight them if they don't offer you the help they should be offering. [/QUOTE]
