[QUOTE="klmno, post: 169373, member: 3699"] Thanks, Janet! Fortunately, difficult child isn't classified as violent. Although his brush fire could have potentially hurt someone if it had spread and caught a house on fire, they all acknowledge that he did nothing deliberate to try to make that happen and although it was stupid and careless, it was nowhere near a house or anyone else- except himself- he was dropping the lit matches around his feet. Thank God that it wasn't next to a house or other person or that it didn't catch himself on fire! (The first time I took him to a psychiatric hospital was because he almost caught himself on fire- and didn't stop) What happens, though, if you have a rogue judge who doesn't want to let him out under her thumb? I know that what I've read says they aren't supposed to hold a kid in detention or commit them just because adequate care isn't available, but then, what might the judge do? Other than get my bro and his live in male partner back in the picture? (Which wouldn't make sense- they live out of state- so the judge would have to let go of difficult child anyway) [/QUOTE]
