We have a free boarder right now who has ADHD, just turned 18, and defended our daughter when she was attacked by an older man in our complex - the boy staying with us cracked the guys rear windshield with my daughter's skateboard to try to get him to stop attacking my daughter. The guy walked with only a weapons charge, the boy was indicted for vandalism and is now on parole. He has to do two days of labor in a work program each month, and they grade them for how well they work. But it seems like most of the grade he received wasn't about how well he worked, but how well he tolerated humiliation and how well he suppressed his ADHD tendencies (of which he has little control, and this includes his ability to listen and retain verbal instruction and keeping still and quiet).
The boy, now staying with us for free, went for his first day of parole labor yesterday. He came back with a story that makes me so pissed off, I could spit.
He went to do roadside trash pickup, and came back after most of a day saying they'd graded him, and since it was a failing grade, an "F" for the day, that meant he has to work an additional six days of labor.
Let me say that again.... He went to do one day of labor, and was told because he didn't act in a way they found acceptable, even though he completed more work than his peers, he has to perform six additional days of labor. And, if this continues to happen, he can be given six additional days of labor for each that he completes. WHAT THE FUCK is going on?!!!
Is this legal? Who do I complain to about this?
Further, he says the woman corrections officer who lead them was black and was constantly using the "n" word, and making racial jokes. And, he was the only white kid in the group. He says he picked up 6 bags of trash, while most others only picked up 4-5.
He said his belt was taken away, and to keep his pants from hanging and exposing his boxer shorts the woman duct taped his pants. He apparently found the duct tape didn't work for him, or was too humiliating, and removed the duct tape later on, to which the woman told him he could be charged with indecent exposure since his boxers could be seen and his pants were hanging low, and since there were women doing trash pickup several hundred feet away from them.
He was frisked twice, but the change in his pocket was missed. On the transport a guard heard his change, and made a big deal about it, causing a further drop in his grade.
He says he got most of the attention. He says he now realizes he hadn't absorbed all of the instructions given during orientation, or during the verbal instructions (he'd read what they told him to read, but apparently added instructions during the verbal portion...and his grade was lowered because he wasn't focused during the verbal instructions).
Since when has our criminal justice system DECLARED OPEN SEASON on our ADHD youth?!
What the FUCK gives them the ability and power to push people around like this?
And since when do they allow black people to use prejudicial language, but not whites? That seems to clearly show she's not going to properly represent everyone equally in the community if her thinking includes that language.
What should I do, besides working to become a civil rights lawyer?

Oh, this new police chief (who resigned today, for real this time), is now gone, and now it's chief number THREE in less than a year. This chief who just left knew a deputy took some drugs from the evidence room, but said nothing.
