I recently had a son that was apart of the ERC program . I wanted to write a letter to the people that are over the program. I am speaking as a mother who believed for the longest time that I was strong enough to raise a young Man on my own{ without ANYONES help} And though I am still a strong Mother. It takes even more courage to say sometimes you just need that extra hand. My son made a wrong <choice> and was assigned by a judge[Cooper} who I need to say is a wonderful Judge and deserves the praise for the work she does. Going in to the program I was so scared for him, this is my youngest child and he has never been in trouble before. I asked so many questions! and they were met with nothing but respect from the staff. At first he REALLY didn't want to go, but at the end when he would return home . The knowledge and "Tough Love"he received from those Men has impacted my son so much. Thank you Mr.Cury and All of you, YOU ARE making a difference in this world, THANK YOU. Drucilla Q
