[QUOTE="klmno, post: 481221, member: 3699"] That's what I was afraid of and how this place is looking. Also, is iit just a funding thing for them to be pushing for difficult child to have a long term stay instead of a short term when it makes no sense at all to get a 4th anger management 'treatment' (that's what he's dooing in Department of Juvenile Justice now and this place will require him to do another one) when there is a home he can go to? There are plenty of other boys who need this more than difficult child so I find it hard to believe they need the openings filled, but difficult child told me they are grabbing boys for that program to fill it as fast as they can. They have short term placementts and long term - the long term has a min stay, this program requirement, and a behavior contract they have to work there way thru. It is the SAME program they use as a diversion to Department of Juvenile Justice for first time offenders and it is used as a sentence somwetimes. How on earth can someone say this is what a reentry program should be and try to claim it's not the same as another sentence when difficult child just finished his sentence of incarcerated time? So, this just isn't MY legal beef- I'm thinking difficult child needs someone looking into this on his behalf, too. It was being used for the types of things I mentioned above but had to close due to state funding being cut. Now they just rec'd a fed grant to use for a reentry program. They are taking the same method/requirements they had been using as a dispositional program (sentence) and plopped it down as their reentry program. It sounds like double jeopardy to me. They're claiming it's reentry because they do things like get difficult child reenrolled in sd. Really? Like I haven't done that before? I wonder what the requirements are for that fed grant for a qualified reentry program. How can I find that out? [/QUOTE]
