[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 506892, member: 11001"] Klmno, First let me say this is horrid. Even worse than what we went through. Second can I ask why they are trying to detain him longer? Has he been in trouble there? I know you wanted a gradual and supported release home, but why now all this? Is it really because the PO ego got tweaked when you actually advocated for your kid or is to pad the pockets of the fascilities? Next, you can get in touch with the judge( I'm assuming that your state keeps the same judge on your kids cases). You can have the bailiff of his court take a letter into him-this is the fastest way I know. (We have done this even on a day we did not have court) You can also go to his office at court house and have it delivered.
