[QUOTE="klmno, post: 356189, member: 3699"] I didn't go to visitation tonight. I'll go this weekend since the next court date is next week. Here are the options I've come up with so far- these are to mull over, not a final decision. 1) write letters to these people since they won't return my call, however, this will definitely cause more animosity and might cause difficult child to not be able to come back home even after his release from Department of Juvenile Justice, assuming they go ahead and send him there 2) not show up for the arraignment (his def attny has already told me he won't be there and he won't be asking for difficult child's release on the program so it isn't any great loss but probably will provoke a phone call from someone - PO- to find out what is going on- I have never missed one of difficult child's court dates)- it would get a GAL assigned if NEITHER mother or def attny shows up 3) show up for the arriagnment but not the trial- that would be a BIG sign that parent is not going along with the plan- I don't think it would have major consequences directly on me because many parents in this state get to a point where they give up and walk away when their kids get in this system- is it any wonder why? But, it would force either a postponement of the trial and a GAL looking into things (probably a different one) or difficult child going straaight to Department of Juvenile Justice once judge sees the parent is not willing to go along with an outpatient/community plan 4) go and not comply with any order to go to a therapist, get served with a show cause, meaning I go to court and explain why I am not comfortable doing this- that actuall;y looks worse on the people I tried to discuss this with but refused to listen (PO) 5) leave another phone message to difficult child's defense attny saying that I think it's in difficult child's best interest for him to understand why I am bucking this idea [/QUOTE]
