[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646756, member: 1550"] I have a mood disorder too. It's combined, in my case, with panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and phobias. I don't know your daughter. You know her better than me. I don't think she is an invalid. I think she needs help and that school is a trigger for her. I was fine at home too, just like her. Maybe I'm wrong and she is just being defiant. I can't say. I do know a few kids who have homebound school here. That isn't homeschooling. A teachers comes out and they do school work. There are many options, including alternative schools which are smaller and more personal. But all of this is totally up to you, not me. If you feel your daughter would be better off going to juvie, then it is your decision and disregard my advice. We are all moms trying to do our best. You know better than me if she is in need of serious discipline. At any rate, to protect yourself if this is really a court with a bonafide judge, I'd get a lawyer and fight for your own rights so you don't have to pay heavy fines. The system in California sounds ridiculous. Just one more reason I'm glad not to live there. I don't think I could have put up with it because 37 didn't like to go to school either and had a slight school phobia and missed a lot of days and, really, the principal was kind and compassionate toward him and juvie or jail was never brought up. This was in Illinois. Maybe it has changed. I can't process a thirteen year old in jail because she won't go to school. For murder, maybe. For lack of school attendance...I don't know. It's not my call. Sorry you are going through this and do protect yourself. At least get an advocate. Good luck ;) [/QUOTE]
