[QUOTE="DDD, post: 34666, member: 35"] I'm so glad that you were able to get an advocate to attend the meeting with you. Where we live they don't identify what the Manifestation meeting "is" to the parent...if it hadn't been for the CD family, I would have walked in and been ambushed! From following such issues for awhile I think Texas is quite similar to Florida in the juvenile justice area and I very very strongly doubt that you have to be too concerned about your son being placed. The chances are good (yes, I know the word good sound inappropriate) that he will be put on probation with some attachments that would be doable. Truthfully I don't trust "the system" but two factors make me feel fairly confident. Number one is that he has never been in trouble before. Number two is that "the system" avoids taking juveniles who have proven medical issues AND require multiple medications. They want to avoid any liability issues......and bad press. Perhaps the Advocate can lead you directly to someone who is best equipped to help you? He/she may know the best attorney for advocacy. He/she may know that NAMI has representatives. Give it a try. You remain in my thoughts and prayers. DDD [/QUOTE]
