There was no reason for either of us to think any of this needed investigated further. Dave was told at the next hearing the problem lied in "verification & confirmation" of the info he left.

Sad, but true. This is a large example of ignorance of the law is no excuse. <br /><br />Fortunately (if there can be an upside to this), the major loss was time and gasoline. <br /><br />Glad he is home.<br />Red.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564590539444409380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-737865878300332678.post-32274381128217551412012-08-19T14:35:22.742-07:002012-08-19T14:35:22.742-07:00Thank you, Noel, and thanks for stopping by.

The employment problem was related to a court order for child support. That is the reason why it was treated so aggressively. It was nevertheless senseless since Dave did do exactly what he was told to do. We are under so much stress as it is. We certainly didn't more added to our plate!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764675303981273979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-737865878300332678.post-67592222312960332012-08-18T19:15:08.766-07:002012-08-18T19:15:08.766-07:00Wow. I sort of can hardly BELIEVE this. I agree w...Wow. I sort of can hardly BELIEVE this. I agree with you at the end 'What kind of ridiculous system is this?'<br /><br />This to me is highly distressing because (sorry I don't know the full story) but it seems to have something to do with not attending a court date because he was told he didn't need to unless he had a job to report - had found a job. What IS this?? Isn't getting employment a personal issue - you look for it, find it, without attracting the law?<br /><br />This is enormously distressing to me because my son is 16 1/2 and if we had such a system (I'm in Australia) - just all the distress & anxiety it causes - and not contacting family but for 20 seconds and they have to set up a $25 account? FK THEM! I'd want to scream. Oh, my gosh, I sincerely hope he comes out and DOES NOT let the experience down his self esteem. Tell Dave, for what it matters (as I don't know him) that I wish him well. FFS, can't believe this.<br /><br />Take care, you all, your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
