    About this ebook

    What do you do when juvenile delinquency is no longer someone else's problem but it has come to live under your own roof? This book speaks to parents who are caught between making their child accountable for their crimes while also protecting them from the mishaps and atrocities that too easily occur in the U.S. Juvenile Justice System.

    A Mother's Battle will take you through the process of making your voice heard in the court room, completing the court ordered treatment plans and dealing with the many entities and agents that surround your child's case. Learn what really goes on with many state subsidized programs that claim to be successful in reforming troubled teens.

    Our story includes both the juvenile delinquency of my teenage daughter as well as the attempts at keeping my infant granddaughter from being taken from us.

    Find the encouragement and information to construct your own defense in the chapter 'The Best Defense is a Good Offense'. There are tips for rekindling your courage, keeping your peace of mind and keeping your family together.

    The book is written as a message of hope and awareness to all parents.

    Carla Fister

    Native to Colorado and lover of the outdoors, Carla has spent her career in the commercial arts. Photography, graphics, web, now writing. It's been a progressive path of creativity.Non-fiction is the chosen form of writing; since opportunity brings itself in some very unlikely packages, it just seems natural to write about it and pass along the information.Each book written enlists details of some of the most difficult times of my life. Emotional, Physical and Financial. I view these books as the diamonds that were removed from the coal of life.
