[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 401550"] I haven't been down the juvenile justice road but have been down the adult justice system road. Where we live you are treated as an adult by the justice system starting at 17. I don't have any real answers for you. Our story is not dissimilar. My son also spent time at a wilderness program and then a TBS. He did well for about a year when he came ohm and then went into a downward spiral. So at the age of 19 he ended up doing a lot of stupid petty type crimes which finally had the court system revoke his bail and he ended up spending 2 weeks in jail.... that ended up being the best thing for him really, because he got really clear that is not how he wants to spend his life. A good lawyer helped craft a good plea agreement which sent him to rehab for 90 days... he is almost done with that and seems to be doing well, although only time will tell. I do think it is helpful to have a good lawyer and then make it clear to the lawyer (and him to the prosecutors) what you want in terms for help for her. Clearly she needs help... and it helps for the court to see that she has a loving family that wants to support her in getting help. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
