[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 350121, member: 1514"] DF, I tried desperately to get anyone and everyone to make Cory accountable when he was a minor. He was on probation when he was under 15. When he was doing all his skipping school...actually he was put on probation the summer before that idiotic 8th grade year, he was told a condition of probation was for him to attend school without missing any days except for excused absences. The very first time he skipped I called his probation officer. I did it every single time he skipped. His PO did nothing. Oh he threatened him. He cajoled him. He told me I better make sure he went to school...lol. As if! I will never forget that December. I called the PO after I was alerted by the school that Cory had yet again skipped and what did Mr PO do? He picked Cory up and took him to a Xmas party for probation kids and gave him a present! Then...all of a sudden, late in April, after Cory had missed so many days, without telling any of us anything, he revoked Cory's probation...for what you ask? Skipping school! In August! Cory spent 5 days in Juvy. That was the sentence he had lurking over his head. 5 days. No wonder he didnt care. The consequence was meted out so darned late it was idiotic and it was so lax he didnt even know what it was. I was more upset than he was. [/QUOTE]
