Judge Tom

Your Mom does not have to sign the form. It’s completely up to her. If you and your Mom want to talk more about your rights under these circumstances, you could try contacting a local attorney who handles criminal and/or education law. Also, you could try contacting the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as they often provide information and/or assistance for these types of matters. Good luck. (Check our Teen Help Network for more help and resources in your area. This is information only – not legal advice.)
