Basically we have run into similar problems with both difficult child's. difficult child#2 was put on probation for a poor choice he made at school. Department of Juvenile Justice understood he was an Aspie and didn't even complete the whole interview process. The school Dean, however, pressed it to "teach him" that he had to follow the same rules as those with-o a disability. Ugh. difficult child#1 was eighteen and a few months out from brain surgery. The State's Attorneys office told him "if you sign here admitting you had some pills in your unoccupied car you can go home instead of going to jail". I did everything I could to rescind it, had three medical experts etc. The State would not back down and as a result he is a convicted felon. Sigh!
The whole system is tragic...especially for those with a vulnerability. I wish those parents luck but I wouldn't bet on them getting justice. Terribly sad. DDD
