[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 304846, member: 1514"] OK...I think you have many valid points. One thing that you may want to take out is the part about house arrest because he can be left unsupervised on house arrest because he is 15 years old and house arrest is house arrest and he certainly is old enough to know what that means. He most probably will have an ankle monitor anyway. You wont be doing the supervising, the ankle monitor will. At 15, he is old enough to stay home alone. I think I would ask that they table the job thing until summer vacation anyway. At that point he can attempt to locate a job within walking or biking distance, or maybe on the bus route. Good experience for him. I think he will be 16 by then too. Plead with them for the mentor. Tell them that you think that is something that has never been tried that you believe has the good possibility of a positive outcome for a teen boy with no positive male role model. Build on that in a big way if you can because it could be your biggest asset. [/QUOTE]
