call 911........call 911
Dude stopped by tonight to tell me he loves me and goodbye. He goes back to probation tomorrow and will more than likely be put in jail because while he has been looking for a job - he hasn't found one. So he can't pay his probation.
He has gone so many places in hopes of finding work but like he said - WHO wants to hire a 17 year old felon? He's told his PO that he has been honest on the applications. The PO told him to leave that question blank. I didn't think that was great advice - but, Dude said he answers it because it will save trouble later.
I felt bad for him. He looks so mature with his moustache, beard and sideburns...yet is so childlike. He played with the favorite dog, hugged Pootie and told her he wasn't much better of a Father than his 'old man' to which we assured him she was well taken care of. He hugged my neck again and whispered I love you Momma in my ear, and hugged DF.
He said he has tried - I said that's all that matters. I don't know how they can seriously lock him up when all the people in his life that are supposed to be assisting him aren't really doing THEIR job. It's frustrating. And the urge to slip him 1/2 the money was overwhelming. But I didn't. He said he thought in church this morning about saying an extra prayer - but then said looking up "WHY BOTHER IT"S ME WE"RE TALKIN' ABOUT."
You know it makes me so angry - because even if he did everything or could do everything he is "supposed" to do - he is still looking at 15 years /trial/prison by November. I called his PD - she's a nit whit. She lied, she hasn't sent any forms out for his medical records, and basically said - she KNOWS this DA and isn't going to "buck" the system. What the heck does that mean? OH it means - you think your client is guilty or you are looking for a way /ride into the DA's office and aren't goign to do your job. THERE IS SO much proof he's innocent - but she has done NOTHING, NADA - and when I asked her - she said - OH I thought YOU were going to do this and that. THREE of us sat there and heard her say "Ok I'll get right on this and order this adn that and fax you this and that and we'll see what I can do." Yet when confronted? Nothing. Can you ask for another PD? She's a mouse.
And yet - he keeps trying. And honestly even DF said "I think the kid is finally trying and everyone has given up on him." And he did return to mental health - they think there is a possibility that hehas anger issues (ya think?) maybe BiPolar (BP), they want to do some more tests and maybe - maybe put him on something to help with his mood swings. He stays mostly angry.
If you have an extra prayer for this kid tonight, gosh we'd sure appreciate it. And don't usually ask for me, but sitting here angry, with those hot Mom tears - maybe I could use a little relief too. Yeah I could, this just hoovers. His birthday is in 2 weeks.....in jail again for my birthday too.
Thanks if you made it this far.
