[QUOTE="klmno, post: 372173, member: 3699"] I'm back. The arraignments were running over 45 mins late so there would have been no way I could have gotten to VA in time for my 10:00 appointment. The payphone at the courthouse was broken so I just came home and called. Of course, difficult child's trial date was set for the very day that I am scheduled to get a mammo and finish the MH evaluation/intake at VA and the judge asked everyone but me if that court date was ok, then said it was set and would not change so I guess I'll have to back those appts up even more. The judge appointed the previous (original) GAL but at the last sec, difficult child's court appointment attny came in the courtroom and questioned about which GAL it should be since another had been appointment last time. TG the judge didn't remember that this last appointment GAL had really only been assigned for a few hours and they hadn't needed him to do anything, so the judge said, "ok, I'll change that then and appoint this last GAL". Shewww..... They didn't have the paperwork in yet for the theft from me so that was not arraigned, only the parole violations were. PO says he thinks they will arraign and try difficult child both on that charge when they try him on these charges in a few weeks. I'm not so sure- my guess is that it will all be continued after the judge hears about the details of this next charge. PO says difficult child might get 12-18 mos in Department of Juvenile Justice unless some plea bargain is made that gets him down to 8-12 or something like that. There is another time range in between there- 9-15mos I think, that is what difficult child got last time. PO also said that this would not be moved to the higher court and he confirmed that he gave difficult child a drug test yesterday. He;ll get the results back next week. We agreed in the fact that difficult child is much safer in Department of Juvenile Justice right now and I was pleasantly surprised to hear PO say that difficult child might be somewhat of a danger to me or others but is much more a danger to himself. (The conversation between PO and I was before court- these things did not come out in court because it was only an arraignment.) I hope and pray that this GAL can see it is difficult child's best interest to be in a more secure environment than any typical home can offer. Unfortunately, they pretty much have to decide in the upcoming trial where difficult child will go after his Department of Juvenile Justice committal, which all agreed will most likely happen. The defensive attn'y's face just got flush and he said it broke his heart when PO and I told him all difficult child had done and told us (after the arraignment). Hopefully, with some common perception between PO, me, and def attny, this GAL won't push for something out in left field. [/QUOTE]
