How The System Works....

[DDD]

Thanks, Janet. It gives me great comfort knowing that I could
just become a vagabond and live off CD family invitations, lol.
Gee, in Pa. I could spend a few months with Suz, then
surprise Artemis by accepting her invitation from 2005 (but who's
counting..lol) and then use one of your spares for awhile.

Life's great when you have options! DDD

hey artemis!!...I wonder how she is doing???

I am so sorry. I would think that somewhere SOMEONE pays this young SAO's salary. Not that that person will be terribly interested, because that would be too much hope, but this certainly sounds like abuse of power.

Are there any media people you could contact? Maybe if you found who reported the investigation into the over-harsh sentences??

I know this must be terrible for you. I will continue to pray for all of you.

I'm doing as much research and information gathering as I can
and plan to lay low until after the neuro/psychiatric examination results are in. Then...if it goes poorly, I will be as prepared
as I can be to make the decision on how much I can or should do
to support my kid. Truthfully I believe that IF the taxpayers
had any idea how much money is being spent needlessly, I would
assume there would be changes...eventually. Even if you have a
herd of PCs and assume that "the system" is functioning well by
taking all the difficult children "away", your logic and reasoning aspects would have to say "What??" "We are paying $25,000 or so to lock
up young adults who could stay in their own home with an ankle
monitor for next to nothing??" " What?? We are sending young
adults to prison when they have never hit, threatened, stolen,
damaged etc. etc..because they had under ten prescription pills
in their unoccupied automobile?"

Oh well. Where we live "going public" wouldn't do a darn thing
fast and would probably make things alot worse for easy child/difficult child. He
already has the "veiled threat" of getting sent to prison for FIVE years if he doesn't agree to TWO years. It is scarey. DDD

I do appreciate the support. Right now I am hanging in there
pretty well.
