[QUOTE="klmno, post: 384130, member: 3699"] I'll be interested in hearing what response, if any, you get to that email. Trust me- that committee doesn't want to dip into their money if they don't have to. That's more controlled by the state and usually the state is wondering why the local agency (sd) isn't using their money for it. See- it becomes a battle between the two of them if you just go, put your stuff on the table showing you have nothing to hide and already have every pertinent service from other agencies. I can't tell you for sure that's how it will go- I was surprised many times in my son's case. It's just hard for me to see it playing out any other way. And if they ever do a family assessment on you, it can actually work in your favor. The dss rep that did difficult child's was always responding "the mother is already doing everything that can be done and the state or county doesn't have anything more to offer difficult child than she is already giving" every time gal called in dss for a potential placement. It saved us. But you ladies here are responsible for that- I had just found this board and spent that weekend typing up a timeline documenting difficult child's hx and everything I'd done to try to get him help. I handed it to dss rep, talked with her on the phone to describe current homelife/family situation, she came to house, sat in living room, and told me just what I put in quotes above. Every time gal called her in after that, dss rep just sighed and said "what's going on now". Ok, I'll go talk to her again. LOL! Some of these people can turn into advocates- dss didn't want to take a kid who didn't need to be removed from home. ETA: I think you could get some satisfaction from hearing a JO tell sd that they can't put a child that age into juvie and a dss rep tell sd that removing wee from his home or whatever won't solve this problem.
