[QUOTE="DDD, post: 508399, member: 35"] Understanding hugs coming your way. Sorry, I don't remember difficult child's age but I had a similar experience with difficult child#2 when he was in sixth grade. A Dean at the middle school insisted that criminal charges be filed for a choice he made that was a manifestation of his disabilities. Even Department of Juvenile Justice (at the required interview) intake person literally shut the file after talking with the two of us for less than ten minutes. But.."the system" followed thru and he was placed on probation for six months or a year. I can't remember because I was chapped off that it took only one untrained/unsympathetic person to result in the charges. I did not hire an attorney because the plea agreement included no record unless he did something during that time period. In your case I suggest being cautious. Sorry, I just don't trust "the system". I'm sure you have all the MH records at hand like I did but I still suggest caution and considering legal representation. There are so many side issues that they can pursue that the balance of power is weighed heavily against the child. I'm sure your stomach is sick and your head hurts from shaking it side to side as you mutter WTH! You can survive it, my friend, but make sure you are not naive about law enforcement. They can go over the top before you recognize their direction. More sincere caring hugs coming your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
