I am a mother of 3,I have 2 daughter's 22,and 19,I also have a son who is 17 as of Nov 14'th.
Anyway this is my son's story:
On Oct 27,2011 my son was arrested,and taken to Juvenile detention,and every 2 week's he had his juvenile hearing's to see if he would get to come home,or not,and of course he never did...Then Dec of 2011 he had to get stitches right by his eyebrow due to a injury he sustained by guard's at the juvenile,He was only 14 at the time of his arrest.
Now by Feb 6th of 2012 he got sentenced to Tyc,which is now called Tjjd,and he never made his stage's...he turned 15 in Juvenile.
Then he turned 16 in Tjjd,and on July 18'th of 2013 his case was transferred to criminal court,they gave him a plea bargain of 4 year's in the penitentary.
Now on Nov 14'th he turned 17,and his court date was on Nov 18;th of 2013 so just a few day's ago he was indicted.
And I do not know how to deal with this,and he is so scared,as well as I am,and I don't know if I was supposed to write this or not,but if not please let me know...Just looking for someone to talk to about the situation...someone who is going through this as well,and this is the first time I have ever had to go through something like this,my heart is breaking,and I feel like I am in a nightmare,and I can't wake up!!!

He has had two court appointed attorney's one was for when he got into trouble the first time...which he was originally arrested for possession of marijuana under 2 ounces,but they said it was enough that he could either roll it,and smoke it,or sell it.
One of the guards at Tyc punched my son in the eye last summer,and he worked in security,and they did nothing,then a few month's after he ended up beating one of the other youth in there,and he had to be rushed to the emergency room to be treated,and now he is sitting in county waiting to go to prison.
When he went to Juvenile they did a psychological evaluation on him he is diagnosed with cannibas abuse,conduct disorder,and mixed learning disabilities in reading,and math...
When he was sent to Tyc he has been diagnosed with mood disorder,impulse control disorder,and there is another one,plus anger issue's...
I begged them for month's to please place him in the Corsicana unit which is for moderate to severe mental issue's,but they wouldn't,they said he was not bad off enough,even though he tried choking himself with a shirt,he tried cutting himself with other object's,etc.
The guard's new he has anger issues,and the way they would talk to him is unreal...Now I am not saying two wrong's make a right,but they are supposed try,and rehabilitate the youth of our nation,instead they push there button's get them angry,and boom next thing you know they get a number,and sent to prison,and no I do not have an attorney I cannot afford one...and yes it can be sealed,but not until he comes home from what I understand.
