It's a running joke here on Fornits and in most programs -- "Insane, dead or in jail." But the reality is that some people are "insane," or at least not entirely right in their minds. And as long as they're not dead, we loving parents try to keep them out of jail, and moving forward or at least sideways toward something that resembles freedom and a life filled with some pleasure and fulfillment. But the legal system can seriously derail those plans, for parents and for teens.
Potentail Program Parents -- save some of your hard-earned cash for lawyers! Don't give it to the EdCon scum or the Program scum. I've never been all that fond of lawyers, except that man when you need 'em, you really need 'em.
-- A desperate but hopeful parent with an insane kid who's thankfully not yet in jail -- we will see how far we can push the system -- and despite several attempts, is still not dead (but sometimes wishes he was).
