[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 99395, member: 4270"] Thanks all for the hugs and prayers. After getting 4 hours of sleep last night we spend about 6 hours downtown. We entered the court room and sat down my difficult child was with us. Then kids came out from another room that were already in custody - yellow and orange jumpsuits complete with arms and legs shackled. I started tearing up. This has been one of the hardest days of my life. We got finished there then had to proceed to juvenile detention center for my difficult child's orders. He is released to us but is on "home detention". He can't even go out onto the porch. Not sure what the diff is between home detention and house arrest other than the fact he doesn't have to wear one of those fancy ankle bracelets. Oh yes, he will be grounded and will work off every cent of what this is going to cost us. No question about that. He is bummed that he cannot go to youth group at church. The officer did say we could call his probation officer and he might be able to go. I hate to not allow church. He needs all that he can get! His court date is 11/29 and we will see what comes of that. He may continue to be on home detention or community service hours. Who knows. Like I said I have never dealt with any of this before so it's all new to me. A friend of ours did say something about doing everything possible so that he is not charged with a felony. The felony will stay on his record 10 years and would totally mess him up going to college with his McKay scholarship. Since we have a public defender and not a private attorney (which we can't afford) we will have to work hard at getting him to listen to us. I know they are overloaded with cases. Just today in the courtroom the prosecuter? attorney? for the state and public defender was there and they were hunting through many papers when each kid came before the judge. Like they just received the paperwork and hadn't even looked at any of it. How could they? Not sure when all the other kids were arrested but if it was over the weekend like my son then the I am sure they got all that paperwork shoved at them first thing this morning. Just wanted to update on what is going on. If anyone knows anything about all these court terms and would care to fill me in I would appreciate it. I know a felony is worse than a misdameanor but that's about as far as my knowledge on this stuff goes. Laura [/QUOTE]
