[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 619767, member: 1514"] This sounds so familiar except my son has an uncanny ability to be the most polite person when in court. He actually keeps a jacket and a tie just for such occasions...lol. One thing that infuriated me from the time my son got in trouble as a juvenile is that the courts taught him that they didnt mean what they said. I fully believe if they had he would have learned his lessons long before he became an adult. Years ago my son ended up on probation at 14. He had all these rules he had to follow such as no missing school, following rules at home, etc. Well he hadnt been in school for a month when I found out he had been skipping school. Needless to say following our rules just wasnt on his radar. So I called his PO and reported him. I fully expected that they would do what they had said which was to invoke his sentence. Not on your life. In fact, his PO actually took him to a Xmas party where he got a nice gift!!!! Of course he continued to skip school and no matter how many times I called him in, nothing happened. Well nothing happened until a month before school was out and they sent him to juvie for ONE week. Oh please. Wanna guess what he learned? That he was immune to what anyone said. In fact it took until he was 21 and stole money from me that the courts finally stepped in. [/QUOTE]
