[QUOTE="klmno, post: 326196, member: 3699"] I don't konw what to say- but if I were you, I'd try to get my say in court even if it means hiring an attorney for myself- and in my Department of Juvenile Justice jurisdiction a parent gets blamed but usually doesn't get to say anything in Department of Juvenile Justice court without their OWN attny. I say this because when my som was about 8-9yo, he took an obvious squirt gun to school (yellow or green, clear plastic, huge white trigger) and it fell out of his pocket- he never threatened anyone with it. It was given to him as a reward from cub scouts the night before and I had told him he could not take it to school- but he did anyway. I was willing to back up a punnishment for taking a squirt gun to school when he knew he shouldn't have, but when it got to a point of threatening to arrest him for taking a "look a like weapon" to school, I had a major issue. I think this is what forces parents to swing too far in defense of our kids- but we have no choice, in my humble opinion. I swear, people making these rules have NO common sense anymore. Your difficult child misbehaved, but it was a typical misbehavior for his age and does not warrant an arrest or appearance in court....but sd's have minimal discipline ability anymore and parents have minimal authority. I can't begin to tell you how I think about it. [/QUOTE]
