Last night DH and I were nice and accepted a inmate collect call so the kids could talk to their BM. I was impressed she took on all blame and told the kids this is what happens when you are an adult and get into trouble. YSS didn't say a whole lot other than, he loves and misses her. SD she was a hoot, she asked her if she was wearing an orange jumpsuit and if she had to go to the bathroom in front of people. OSS didn't say a whole lot either but was more vocal than YSS.

We explained to BM that we can't take these collect calls all the time because they are $15 a pop, but if she gets her calling card back she can call whenever she wants. Agreed to let the kids mail letters and we told her we would send her some pictures of the kiddos.

2 counts of Harassment, 3rd degree assault on an officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. She goes in front of the grand jury on Feb 10th.

Since the kids hadn't spoken to her in a month that's the only reason we took the call, but she is able to get a phone card at her cost and she waiting to be able to obtain one. Informed her we can't keep doing the phone calls, but the kids will write her and send pictures.

Same here. I support the Jail in my county (IT) and they use an outside vendor for contact calls/"skyping" etc.

But I'd rather they do that then slam the taxpayers any more than they are already getting slammed.
