[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 568427, member: 13558"] I too dreaded the phone calls from difficult child. The little over a year when he was clean and sober I finally looked forward to his calls. He was sincerely sorry for the troubles and pains he had put me through. He even asked his sister what he could do to make amends to me. I told him I had forgiven him many years ago and just wanted the best for him. NOW he has regressed and is back to his old tricks - but this time everything is MY fault! here we go again - except this time I am putting me first. I know first hand about the police. It's like any other profession there are good and bad. But, from my experiences there are too many with the 'John Wayne' syndrome. They probably believe she was guilty and got away with it. No excuse for harrassment! At one of our local parades (with loads of alcohol consumption) a brother took his special needs older brother (both around 30yo). After the parade festivities the SN brother sat on the curb while the other brother went inside a bar and grill to order food. Two police officers came up and ordered the SN's brother to get off the curb. He didn't move fast enough and they shoved him, he fell on the curb breaking his teeth. He was so scared he tried to walk away and find his brother so they tried to subdue him with a taser. They arrested him for being drunk and disorderly and his brother comes back as they are driving away. The young man was special needs and was not drinking. When the family hired a lawyer they were told by the police department that the brother should have not left him alone. The public was out raged and the police still did not drop the charges. When he went to court it was thrown out and the department was ordered to train the officers in ways to recognize and handle special needs citizens. If this family had not been wealthy I think this case would have turned out much differently - but they had the money to raise h*** and hire expensive lawyers. I never did!! [/QUOTE]
