[QUOTE="klmno, post: 241812, member: 3699"] Soemone from police dept just called. I must have serious ptsd going on- I was holding my breath asking what happened- did something else happen? She said no, she was calling as a vicitim's rep or something. I told her I was feeling much better that the main things to me were that it was nipped in the bud, difficult child is not going to grow up developing this habit so he ends up being an abusive adult or even worse, does something drastic before he makes it to adulthood and that he gets help, which he is asking for. Since it looks like those three things are getting addressed right now, there is a huge weight off my back. And I told her it should not have come to this point because he was teetering between mania and doing something drastic like this and being at the point of suicide and had been asking for help and that I had done everything I could to get help for him before it got to this point. Which lead me to the piont of "why did he get a malicious wounding charge when I only was scratched" I told her I didn't want him to walk from it and definitely was not blowing this off as no big deal, but I didn't want him having felony charges for wounding when it did not warrant that. Plus, he is on a suspended sentence to state commitment, but unfortunately, it took this to get him help. So, if he stays in cooperation with getting help, I do not think it's fair for him to turn around and be sent to state juvy when he asked for help beforehand and they wouldn't give it. She said she understood and was aware of all that. She said she couldn't change charges now, but could put some word into a sargent or someone who could try to do something at difficult child's court. She said she would be in contact with me again before the court. Ok- let's look at it this way. If my child were about to do something horrible and I had been informed by school or cops that there was a high risk for this and I didn't address it all, then difficult child did it, would I not also be charged? Yes, I would. So, shouldn't they be held accountable instead of blaming it all on difficult child? I should have asked her if she could arrest PO. LOL! [/QUOTE]
