But one parent said her kid slipped through the cracks, dropped out of school and got into trouble with the law, and she blames the district attorney's office.

Fisher said her son dropped out of school after missing more than 100 days last school year, and she wants to know why the school and district attorney’s office didn't enforce their truancy policies.

Fisher learned of the attorney's office truancy policy from a pamphlet that come home with her second oldest son.

Fisher said the policy, if enforced, could have prevented her son from skipping school at Mayfield High School and getting into trouble with the law.

“What are you going to do to him now? You didn't help him back then. What are you going to do to him now, put him in prison? Are you going to put my son in prison because he is a delinquent?” said Fisher.

Escorts would walk her child to class, but the escort program was canceled last year. When her son turned 18, Mayfield stopped alerting her he skipped. He got intro drugs, and was arrested on charges of burglary.

“I think if we've gotten help for him from the DA’s office like court ordered supervision, maybe things for him might be a little bit different,” said Fisher.

District Attorney Susana Martinez said the court can't do much to the kids themselves but it can charge parents who willingly allow kids to skip.

“Charges may be filed against the parent. Well I would have welcomed anything,” said Fisher.

“We can prosecute the child. We can bring them in to court. The judge can order conditions of probation. If the child continues to be truant, then that child will be brought back to court and put on conditions of probation,” said Martinez.

But she said the law doesn't allow children to be placed in jail or rehabilitation.

“The system isn't in the home every day enforcing the rules and values and making sure that the child is doing what they're supposed to. The parent is in the home every day and so we can't blame the system for criminal activity of a juvenile,” said Martinez.

“It's is the parents responsibility but it also the school's responsibility to notify the parents to do what they're supposed to,” said Fisher.

Martinez said there is consideration on changing the laws to punish kids who are truant. She said unfortunately that punishment does not exist now.
