[QUOTE="klmno, post: 506743, member: 3699"] I thought PO would have done a home visit shortly after finding out Monday that I wasn't going to do a parental placement. But he didn't even mention it. And he never mentioned pursuing a court order. As of yesterday afternoon,the super at the Department of Juvenile Justice facility was still wondering why he hasn't told them something else and was still saying difficult child is to be released tomorrow "to be transported to GH". Now, she did confirm that PO sent this to her Mon am- before sending me the gh app and hearing from me that I was not going to sign parental agreement. True to his form, PO hasn't done anything. And why the central office is sitting on this is beyond me. If difficult child was still working on his sentence, Department of Juvenile Justice can transfer him, place him, whatever. But they know he finished his sentence. Otherwise, it wouldn't require parental agreement. It's a no brainer- either change the plan or go get a court order. Department of Juvenile Justice can't place him there upon completion of his sentence without one or the other. I think it's important to note the distinguishing factor here- a court order would not be ordering me to do a parental placement; it would be ordering difficult child to a post-d program, which again would be double jeopardy. That would not be me signing over custody or me agreeing to release them from liability or anything else. That's why I keep thinking this whole idea was dumb. There were actual reentry options and funding for them available. I asked for them and would have agreed to them. When I confronted the super, reentry lady, and PO with my list of concerns they were like "OMG look at what this kid has done, he needs consequences for this" and immediately decided on post d. The problem is that they were completely ignoring the fact this is what he was sentenced for and has already done his time so now we are supposed to be concentrating on him transitioning out of the system, not giving him consequencees for something he's already been convicted of and done his time for. But super is so stubborn she wasn't budging. Again, more reason for me to think she's used to being a probation officer instead of a parole officer. Now, they might be trying to CYA themselves by forming a papertrail that I am saying difficult child is to come back to my custody, in the event he offends by committing another offense against me. But, they haven't looked at ANY out-of-home placement option that focuses on reentry- the only one the have looked at was this post-d "sentence" and that's not a reentry program or reunification plan. That's the biggest bulk of my complaint. [/QUOTE]
