My son is 16 years old . He is receiving SSI as a disabled child due to his mental , emotional state. He is ADHD, depression and with some learning disabilities.
He is a good boy really , quiet , shy . When he is upset he writes stories to deal with his feelings.
Anyways .There were 2 girls at school picking on him and finally on Monday he responded to them .The one girl punched him in the eye, he grabbed her arm , and scratched her deep. All 3 kids were given OSS for 5 days. The police questioned the school & students .
Now on Wednesday the police show up at my house to search it & my car for weapons.
They take my son into custody to ask him questions.There were no weapons found in our possession.
Yet they said they needed to hold him overnight due to his emotional state and the fear that he would hurt himself or other people.
tHEY HAVE 4 charges of Terroristic threats on him , yet he did not mean what they said -that he said. He said it ,yes ,but his understanding is not same. He says things without thinking - as he is very emotional .
I feel they are trying to lock him up & frame him , just to keep him out of school.
He is an emotional child and takes vars meds for his condition.
Stratterra , Lexapro and Wellbutrin
what can I do?
I think maybe his court appointed attorney will not fight for him .Friday there was a detention hearing and he is still detained
He is currently being held at a juvenile detention center .
Friday the detectives came back with another search warrant for his bookbag , looking for a book that he writes in when he is depressed.
When he is depressed he writes stories and poems .
I dont believe that them having that book would in anyway benefit my son either .
Am I correct?
What recourses do I have for my son?
