Juvie PO

[OHRoadwarrior]

My comments were a response to "i bet you wanted to check your phone for calls from your friends"
That's it.

You are still out of Juvi?

To miss a drug screen is considered a failed test. Thousands or hundreds of thousands of people on probation over the years have been violated and put in jail for that same reason.

This road you are going down is a frustrating losing proposition. When on probation you must "keep the peace and be of good behavior", your p.o. pretty much can violate you whem they
want (as you are now learning).

So what do I do now? Is this real bad? I'm on 6 months probation for disorderly conduct, which is only a violation, and it's the first time I ever got charged. I've been on probation for 4 months without any problem with the PO. I just did it because it's a new house and I just wanted out for a little bit. I went back myself. And that's not any "foster card". It's just what happened.
I'm not testing anything, I still don't understand how I "moved". Ok maybe I wasn't where I was supposed to be, but I don't know why they're calling it 'moving'.

Family court people - will they move me again because of this?

Possibly - straight to Juvie.

Boy, you sure showed everyone, didn't you, by just "getting out for a little bit". Now they're going to show you. You need to wise up and realize you don't call the shots and you don't get to pick and choose when you will comply with your probation. Plan on going from your fosters to juvenile hall. It's probably where you'll best fit anyway.

If you have not yet been officially violated, than just do what your p.o. says. If the violation is official than you will have to go to a hearing where you will have an attorney.

In your original thread you said your p.o. is "trying" to violate you, so I am not sure what your situation is at this point. You can be sure, the p.o. does not have to "try" very hard. goodluck.

Ok. I got a meeting tmrw, with probation not with a judge. I don't think it's official yet.
I remember Quincey put a good post about talking to him.

Wouldn't he already arrest me if I was going to juvie?

It is likely he is going to allow you the chance to convince him of your sincerity and understanding you made a poor choice, which you will not do again. Now that you have exercised some of your ****iness, you appear to have a grasp of the seriousness of your meeting tomorrow. I venture he will also be looking to determine whether you will behave from now on in the current home you have been placed in. Be aware, once your probation period is over, you must still behave until released by the court. Don't screw this up again. Good Luck.

 

[thecody]

Ok. Thanks.

What do you mean?

 

[commentator]

Stop playing with the baby rattler.

 

[thecody]

That was a real question. Do you just mean if you're on 6 months probation but your court date for probation is after 6 months and 2 weeks - are you just talking about those 2 weeks? You have to keep following probation rules?
I have curfew for a while but I'm staying where I'm at.

I am not positive I know what OHR means, but I am thinking it could have something to do with the fact that penalties for violations of the law get increasingly more severe the more laws you violate. So don't violate any more laws.

If you are currently in a diversion program, where your disorderly conduct violation will be discharged and dismissed once you satisfactorially complete all terms of the program during the probationary period, you must wait for the court to hear from the probation officer before you are officially released.

If your probation is not revoked over your recent little disappearing act , you will need to be very careful what you do from here on out so you don't risk additional conflict with your probation officer. You want to avoid having the disorderly conduct misdemeanor entered against you.

Having a criminal history will make things more difficult for you in the future. School applications can be denied, employers might refuse to hire you, loans can be impossible to get, travel can be restricted. . . . there are a whole host of problems that come when you have a criminal record.

Good luck with your probation officer tomorrow, thecody, and good luck in your life.

Ok. Thanks. I get the release thing. Yeah I don't want a criminal record. I already seen the PO, not getting revoked or seeing judge, got a curfew for a month. My fostermom says now we can get to know each other. I guess we got to, I guess they've been ok with all this.

I am happy to hear that your probation will not be revoked and that your probation officer has come up with a reasonable alternative for you.

As a note on foster parents: People generally do not become foster parents unless they really care about kids and have an abundance of love to give (and also, generally, an abundance of patience ). I hope you will give your foster parents the chance to offer you what they can in this way.

Again, I wish you good luck.
