Parent needs transcript of court proceedings!?

Question

How can a parent (in Idaho) obtain a transcript of court proceedings of a juvenile? Whenever he asks the att'y for it, he gets blown off. No more money to hire another att'y or fight the system - but with transcript, can/will 'prove' illegal (2 long yrs) proceedings from pros. atty. on an 11 yr. old. All rights/laws thrown out the window with statement - we can do anything we want - and they did. No Mirandizing, no adult w/child when interrogated (law states under age 14 that is a must), no quick trial, a parole officer assigned for 1 1/2 years 'before' final trial/verdict, thrown in detention for not getting good grades (that had nothing to do with his legal problem) and p.o. called the shots for the 'entire' family or he would go back to detention (and she sent him back when dad was in bed sick and couldn't visually see him 24/7), harassment of parent (single dad), lies - misquotes by pros. atty/detective (I know that to be true because they talked to me and when I was told what they - under oath (in court) testified to that I had said - it was bits and pieces of my statement taken totally out of context), etc., etc. Sounds unreal, that is what I thought until I saw what they were going thru on a daily basis. Boy, is our legal system screwed up and people living pay check to pay check have no chance. The outcome was told to them by the P.O. 'before' the trial started and guess what - she was 'right on'. By the way, this little boy has ADHD, opositional defiant, & is bi-polar but they wouldn't take his doctors word for that until AFTER they convicted him. To this day, he doesn't know what he did wrong (he was 11 going on 7-8) and doesn't understand why he's in trouble (he just turned 13 and is still about 8). Too long of explanation but if you get this far and can offer some help in (any avenue) to obtain a transcript (remember, the Dad has no more money as they have more than drained him but because he works, he can't get assistance), I would appreciate any help that I can pass on to the Dad. He's struggling trying to keep things together for his other child, pay his monthly bills along with all the extra 'fees' the judge could come up with (even has to pay extra for a parole officer - monthly - why do we pay taxes to pay their wage if they add extra $ each month for a p.o. to persecute - yes I said persecute the parent that's trying to do right by their child? Mother is a dead beat and pays nothing). What the little boy did was wrong but not earth shattering and definitly not to the extent he was punished. I've seen people who get repeat DUIs, domestic battery, etc., get less that what they've given this child. Enough - I'm just angry that the legal system I've always believed in (60 + years) is so corrupt that they'll destroy a family just so they can get a notch on their belt. I'll be waiting for your helpful replies. Thank you for any suggestion.

Answer 1

Go to the courthouse, they can get you records for a nominal fee.

Answer 2

You can ask the Court clerk the name of the court reporter used at the procedings and her telephone number, after you provide the date, time and location of the procedings.

The court reporter loves charging for a transcript.

Answer 3

Now you know the truth. We have no real justice in the USA. This is the way it is and the way it will always be. We have to live with it. One must be rich to buy justice. If one is poor you will get messed over.
