[QUOTE="Star*, post: 141254, member: 4964"] RM, You know what? I DO NOT ACCEPT THAT SITUATION OR RESULT OF THE REPORT TO THE PO. I DO NOT! I can tell you this much - IF he is living with someone (AA Buddy) he most likely WILL NOT qualify for a public defender. SO in order to get indigent services he needs to be homeless. If he is homeless he will go to jail. If he is in a rehab/situation he DOES qualify as indigent. If he lives with you? He will not. If you can't get him in to see his PO and have the warrant revoked....then I WOULD and (have in our own case) written the solicitor and told them that my son is mentally ill. THAT HE NEEDS HELP - NOT prison. When he gets a public defender - you go see him too. There is NO SHAME in fighting for SERVICES for our kids. This country should hang it's head in shame after what deinstitutionalization has done to the entire balance of things. The proposal that was supposed to give mentally ill people rights - was grossly misrepresented by grubby lawyers in ONE situation - once they won they used that statue it became a guideline for twisted logic. If you squeek loud - maybe someone will hear you. Of course I do not advocate your son coming home - but I DO see an opportunity to MAKE YOUR SON realize THIS IS IT - you need to do A, B, & C - or go to jail and no one wants that for him. If you can get A, B & C in place then MAYBE - MAYBE by the time he gets to court he has a fighting chance of saying ' LOOK JUDGE - I have done THIS, this and THIS in x amount of time" and I'm trying - I don't want to go back to jail.
