WHAT A TOTAL #*$&)(@_!)(+# WO$#U#*_#)$_)@
Got a call from the caseworker who needed directions (moments ago) to the "court house"?????????
Um - NO====you are going to PROBATION AND PAROLE - in the DSS building down the road.
Caseworker: Um Then why did I talk to the solicitor yesterday?
Me: WHAT IN THE BLUE MOON are you talking to the solicitor for???
Him: Well I wanted to find out where we were in these charges.
me: blink, blink......(pause)....>>>>WHAT????
him: The charges for tomorrow.
me: SLAP FACE.......NO NO NO......THIS IS FOR PROBATION TODAY - AT THE PROBATION OFFICE - to get his PO changed to a local one so we can stop taking the day off, to drive 180 miles and sit all day - and get a local PO, plus he OWES probation FEES.....$250+ PLUS
Him: OH - Okay I'm going to get this straightened out.
me: There is nothing to straighten out. He owes, he pays - they see him in a month. I paid his fines up before to keep him out of jail....and they never put it in the computer so they issued a hearing. And in the mean time - he is BEHIND for the months that I caught him up TO - in other words since he's been at the foster family. But he won't do chores. He figures why bother - he's going to jail for 15 years anyway. What kid with his mental capacity wouldn't think that way? So if there is something to be DONE today - GO TALK TO THE PUBLIC DEFENDER AND GET HER TO HAVE THOSE BOGUS CHARGES dismissed - and tell HER that he's getting more care than a jail can give, and that YES HE DOES HAVE A MENTAL PROBLEM -
me: Shakes head, sighs, exhales.....and thinks - YET THEY are the ones with degrees.......and making the BIG bucks.????
Caseworker - "Well I can't get anyone to call me back."
me: I said "If I put you on hold, and called there RIGHT NOW - I would get her."
URGE TO CHOKE A HUMAN AT 7:30AM...overwhelming
Child who's PO told him "This is all in your mind Dude." Unbelievable
Having your sons caseworker not know what is going on? PRICELESS
I do know from the psychiatrist that Dude is so hyperfocused on going to jail for 15 years - he's struggling to NOT develop a WHO CARES attitude. Which is so difficult child - defeatist attitude - with his limited coping skills - who wouldn't?
But - I guess I will hear about this - sometime. After all I'm only the Mom. Why would I need to know?
-Why would ANYONE in their right mind Want TO KNOW?
-oH THAT'S RIGHT i AM NOT IN MY RIGHT MIND.
