Thank you. I'm trying to calm down. If had faith in the legal authorities not to turn this into MST and faith in therapist not to change from the type of services he wrote in his letter, this would be easier. But the way the sw wrote this letter, it would be very easy for the PO and judge to turn into "it's just a problem at home- order MST and don't let them out of it this time". Especially the PO-
What can I do? Apply for chins and release from probation as originally planned and let it known in the letter that if we don't get services that I believe we need, then place difficult child out of home, if they order something different or don't do it or judge won't agree to hear the case, then I guess I'll end up in jail for not complying with current requirements or I'll be charged for neglect of difficult child for not being able to provide for him.
by the way- the reason for the request is written on a county form that goes on top of the letter. I'm trying to show the urgency of the matter so the judge will keep reading. Atl least that was my thought. The clerk told me to write in there what all the other agency reps had told me, since the judge refused my last request and directed me to other agencies. Also, this has to be copied to PO. The clerk is not allowed to present it to the judge if the PO isn't copied.
