DDD, I thought about all that but it's not the complete way things went. I never refused anyone coming here. I've kept all appts/reqd communication with PO. I did express all those concerns and then PO and I had the discussion basicly trying to compromise on a plan for services with difficult child coming home but that's when super stepped in and said she was going to order gh placement no matter what. In these letters to Department of Juvenile Justice and everyone, I had clearly and briefly but concisely spelled all this out. As far as services lined up, tthat was part of my complaint on po - whether difficult child caamee home or not, it wwas po's job, reqd by law, to have MH plan in order and in place prior to release, etc, and he had not been doing this stuf or he did it way after the period of time he was supposed to. I'd asked for a written parole plan a hundred times and have never rec'd one. He has never scheduled a home visit, which should havee been done even before deciding on parole plan. Now when I first movedd here, the first po assigned came by and banged on the door, unnanounced, every 2-3 weeks. I quit getting up and answering the door. But given that I'm not on parole, he'd already verified I liveed there and had been inside the home, difficult child was incarcerated so he didn't need to verify anoything on difficult child's whereabouts, and he hadn't scheduled a time with me, they can't do squat for me not anwering the door when I don't know who's banging on it. This PO has always scheduled appts and they are always at his office. I have since moved and notified PO when I did and gave him new address. He should have come by then, but didn't. Now I will say, the PO in the old jurisdiction, after difficult child's 1st release, never did that either.
Even in the letter I sent him Monday, I asked for verification that difficult child can come home since he doesn't have placement lined up. I said if that's the case, I also need to know when to bring difficult child to him for parole check in and to receive written parole req- he only responded that he's waiting to hear back from ceentral office but difficult child is still sccheduled for release on Fri.
The post-d progrram is a specific punishment program- maybe they don't use that term in other states but it is known in this state and referred to as such in the state law. A judge simply cannot order it in addition to commitment to Department of Juvenile Justice without there being an additional crime committted. PO never once looked into any other placement or out-of-hhome program. That would have been entirely different. All the things you are bringing up are my complaints against him. But a post-d order would be double jeopardy.
Being that my son is a minor and I have always retained full guardianship/legal authority as a parent, and he's never been in the custody of dss, they have no authority to do anything but return him to me without justifiable cause proven in court and a judge ordering it. The super and PO could have been pursuing that 3 mos ago when tthey knew I was not in agreement with long term GH placement- and they documented that, too. But who pursued trying to get a higher authhority to review this? Me, not them. The clerk knows I tried to get a court hearing but couldn't. My letter to Department of Juvenile Justice asked for review by either them or a judge. PO sat here and didn't do squat except insist they they were placing difficult child in that program, and then he was misrepresenting what it was. Well, sorry for him that he didn't have authority to place difficult child in it. PO kept claiming he had custody of difficult child- no he doesn't- once released from the state facility, me and the court have custody. PO is to monitor but cannot placee my kid anywhere himself. He must have thought it was the same as a kid being in the custody of dss but it's not. The proof is on this app that was forwarded to me from PO so it's clear- either dss, court order, or parent. Additionally, once placed in Department of Juvenile Justice, a kid cannot be placed in dss unless in custody of dss prior to committal to Department of Juvenile Justice or in extreme cases of abandonment and the kid being under 17.
