[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 734152, member: 22819"] I've homeschooled him since he was little after being bullied at school. We follow the US system, so he has no papers in this country and can't attend school here because of it. Yesterday she told me that they would start "education activities" soon. I know that he is thinking that he'll get a job, be able to go out, see the girl he likes (yup, surprise, she lives there)... My mom is under orders not to allow this, but who knows if she'll uphold or end up just letting him do as he likes. We'll see what happens when she tries to fully take on what has been a full-time job for me (containment, policing, supervising, schooling...) and he realizes that his big city life isn't what he was planning on. (we live in a very small, rural town, mom lives in the big, dangerous city) To answer Tired Mama's question - jails here really are as bad as anyone could imagine. The inmates run them. When a newbie comes in, they are lightly beaten up and given a phone to call their families to send a "jail tax". They give you a bank account number, usually in a woman's name who is likely the girlfriend of a top inmate. Depending on what you look like, is how much your family has to pay. We recently had to get $2000 together for a friend. If the family doesn't pay, the beatings get worse by the day. Rape, especially for someone as pretty as my boy, is a given. This is as much the situation in detention centers as it is in adult prison. If you've ever seen documentaries about the worse jails in the world - that's what it's like here. The doctors are telling me that I made a huge mistake by not letting the police take him after what he did, but I just couldn't. They say that now I've rewarded him with a holiday with his Granny. Perhaps it was the last thing I do for him, from now on it's up to him and I won't come to the rescue - or at least I'll try not to. [/QUOTE]
