not his first. >> this is my 6th charge. i had two truancies, criminal trespassing, run away, burglary, and discharge was only battery. me and my mom was arguing and her boyfriend was kind of drinking. he started laughing at me like he thought something was funny. so, i reached over my mom and i swung at him. the cops came and my mom took his side. she said, i just want him to learn his lesson. i pleaded guilty to my charge and the judge, he had to think about it. he didn't really know what to do. so, i'm still here. >> it takes time for the juvenile courts to figure out how to best handle each individual case. and in kevin's situation, available beds at placement facilities are hard to come by. >> being here for all them days gets to you after awhile. especially when you don't have your mom, it's all real hard.
