I have been reported on by my 15 year old. He thaught that he had me by the @#%#$'s untill we went to court. The Juge already knew that he was the problem and threw it back at him. He use to try to get me to brake laws and it backfired on him. My charges wher droped and he served 40 hours of comunity service. After they go to court once the kids have a change of aditude. That is what it takes to let them know that what they hear about the laws is not always the truth. To make this work in your favor you have to take the time to learn the truth about the laws and not take what you hear as fact. It is not an easy task but to find out what you can and can not do, check out court records and look at the court decisions. Once you know how the cort rules on diffrent actions, then you know what your limits are. The laws are in place to stop abuse not to prevent control. If parents understood the laws then they could get back the control. Remember the courts are there to help keep control. But on the other hand The child welfare system does not care about the laws they only go by what the child said and will not look at the truth. When they try to do it to me I tell them to take me to court so I can present the facts to someone that will hear them. They only took me to court once and lost. Now they leave me alone and ignor my sons lies. I know that he thinks that he hates me now but in about 8-10 years he will be thanking me for caring so much to keep him strait.<br><br>Texas Gulf Coast Fisher.
