[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 638625, member: 15801"] My experience has been if you work with the system they will work with you. They see way too many parents who either dont care or who just make excuses for their kids and dont want them to face the consequences. In general (and of course there are exceptions) I think the court folks will work with you to find the best solution for your son... and really it is important for this to happen now while he is under 18. Once he is 18 you have a lot less say in any legal or medical matters. Given that you are the victim in this case against him they will take what you want into account. After he is 18 the legal system will probably still talk to you and take input. After he is 18 the medical system and treatment centers will not talk to you unless he signs a release. This can be a huge pain. [/QUOTE]
