[QUOTE="klmno, post: 374506, member: 3699"] Thank you, Ladies. Barneysmom- my son is 15yo and was incarcerated in juvie prison 2 weeks after turning 14yo until this past spring when he was let out on parole. This was inspite of two psychiatrists saying he needed psychiatric rtcf and that sending him to state Department of Juvenile Justice would probably be psychologically damaging to him. His idiot GAL and def attny didn't advocate for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). My son continuously broke parole requirements since being releases this past spring so now will most likely be sent back for a longer period of time. It is absolutley killing me. Serenity Prayer...Serenity Prayer....Serenity Prayer.... If I have a chance to say anything in court tomorrow, which is unlikely unless it is only to answer specific questions while under oath, I will tell the judge and everyone in that court what difficult child has told me, after I apologize to difficult child for betraying his confidence. And that is that he is more comfortable incarcerated than ITRW because he can do whatever he wants to, including drugs, and not get into bigger trouble while in there but he can't get by with it ITRW and doesn't feel stressors like ITRW. Those stressors are primarily natural consequences. Will this help difficult child? No, but these people in the courtroom need to wake up and start getting a clue. When the kids grow up and are facing big boy prison time, those judges seem to think that the kid had all these efforts made by others to rehabilitate them as a juvenile. It isn't really that way. My son is under the impression that he can easily live in state Department of Juvenile Justice until he's 18yo if he had to, then get out and not get into trouble for what he wants to do because he can work to get money instead of stealing from me, hang out with friends all night long because that's legal at 18yo, and not get caught if he wants to party. This is my honor roll kid who swore he wanted to go to college. My kid can take any typical teen issue and turn it into a farfetched major ordeal, it seems. [/QUOTE]
