[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 738579, member: 18238"] None taken whatsoever Copa. For YEARS working in Corrections I continually wondered how parents could LET their child turn out like this. I lived under the delusion that all children had the same respect for and obedience to their parents that I do. I saw nothing in my sheltered life to contradict this. Not even after I started working in Corrections. Oh, I heard little snippets of conversations on the phone with parents but thought little of it. Inmates are prone to "exaggerate" on a regular basis. Then our son went off the rails and forced me to completely reevaluate my opinion on why people end up incarcerated. In speaking with my supervisors about why I was missing work due to stress, lack of sleep, court dates for my son, going home to have his friends arrested because I found out they had active warrants; I learned that a fairly significant portion of Corrections employees have Difficult Children. Which begs to question while at the same time answering why so many Corrections employees have such craptastic attitudes towards the offenders. After working for a few years in Corrections, I developed a pretty good radar for who would or wouldn't return to prison after they left. Turns out that radar is based on being able to gauge by their actions where they are in the Difficult Child journey. Near the beginning, they'll be back. Near the end, good chance of succeeding!
