HDC Licence Recal
My son is 19, in July last year he recieved a 15 month sentance for affray. He was released in November on HDC licence to live at my address. Approx 2 weeks later we had an argument which got out of hand and he threatned me. The next morning I rang probation and told her I didn't want him at my address. She told me he would be recalled and would be in custody a few days until accomodation was arranged. It was 2 months later the police came to arrest him, by which time we had sorted it out. He has been back in custody over a month now and 3 weeks ago I wrote a letter to probation giving permission for him to return to live at my address. My son has not been told how long he is likely to remain in custody and has received no paperwork or correspondance of any kind regarding this recall. I have spoken to probation on several occassions and also written to her, all she will say is that she is waiting for a decision from the home office but she's been saying this for 4 weeks now. 2 weeks ago I contacted a solicitor who visited my son and is now supposedly making representations to the parole board. However I still feel that nothing is being done, as even though he has my sons permission to discuss the case with me he never bothers to return calls. He says he is waiting for a date for the parole hearing. He hasn't taken a statement from me about what happened during this argument & he hasn't been in touch with the probation officer. Prior to the solicitor becoming involved I wrote to the probation officer with my account of what happened and asked that she forward the letter to the home office and contact me to say the letter had been recieved. I have had no reply and when I ring she is unavailable & doesnt return my calls. Can anyone tell me what else I can do as I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall. Also why is it taking so long and why hasn't my son received any correspondence from anyone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The law is written in stone & can't be overturned unless parliament change it.
This is obviously the way your sons circumstances are handled re: the law.
But I agree the solicitor is rather slack. Perhaps send letters so there is a paper trail.
Good luck.
