[QUOTE="klmno, post: 169743, member: 3699"] Thanks, Witz! I have been trying to figure out who to go to here for help- financial assistance, legal assistance, or mental health. It seems like so far, everyone is just saying they can't help because they only deal with one small segment of it. Really, no one - including me- thinks this kid should get by with doing whatever he wants at any time he gets a wild hair. But, the idea of locking away a 13yo indefinitely, without mental health treatment, when there is documentation for over 2 years that he needs help and the local agencies haven't been able to provide ONE thing, just appalls me. Then, to expect that instead of just ordering him to obey the law, they are going to order him to obey every house and school rule and never drink, smoke, or do any drugs until he's 21 yo or he is out of here. Come on- why should we bother? A big part of me thinks both of us would be better off if she committed him now so we could appeal it and get this over with- with whatever order and sentence the circuit court judge gives. I really can't see going thru these motions until he is tardy for school once or talks out of line at school or puts me in a position of if he goes to bed 15 mins late, then he has broken a court order.
