Probation Officer came over and told Middle Boy he could have the honors of cutting off the band on his electronic monitor.

She and I chatted about the requirements of the remainder of probation.

Younger Boy got right down by the ankle monitor to watch it be cut off.  Whether he would admit it or not it has made his life more restricted as well.

By the time we were done chatting Middle Boy had barely made an indent in the bracelet.

Probation Officer and I just looked at him in disbelief.  We would have thought he could muster up superhuman strength to get that thing cut off, but he didn't.

She made a joke about not wanting to spend the night at our house and took the scissors from him.  In one cut it was off.

It's disconnected.  The buzzing box is gone from the kitchen.  We can go out of town again.

Praises for an AMAZING probation officer who has actually become a friend.

Prayers this will never happen again and that it provided an example for Younger Boy as well.
