[QUOTE="klmno, post: 350641, member: 3699"] TL & Janet, I think that approach works a lot better when it is a mental health treatment team, or possibly even the sd. But when it's purely court ordered services to address juvenile delinquency, the parents in this state fall under the jurisdiction of the courts and their agents' orders as well. It's starting to appear that part of the reason this mentor was ordered was because they got it in their heads that I wouldn't let difficult child talk to anyone confidentially. I say that because I realized that this point kept coming up every time there were discussions about the mentor with the PO or mentor's super. Never mind that difficult child had seen therapist after therapist, privately (without me knowing most of what they discussed), but of course, the courts couldn't access all info difficult child discussed with them. This was n't done because I had something to hide or to try to cover for something difficult child did. It was done because this gave difficult child the best chance to be honest and open about what was going on with him without it later coming out in a way that could embaress him or violate his confidence, which many people had done in the past- including his GAL, extended family, and people from school who had claimed he could trust them then took what he told them and made it public knowledge.
