[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 393588"] I think a lot may depend on where you live. Where we live I think they tend to give a lot of chances to youthful offenders. It took 5 arrests (all for petty stupid stuff) for my son to finally get his bail revoked. The two friends who did not go to jail each had 3 arrests. So yes my son did have to plead guilty to a felony which was unfortunate but he only pled to 2 charges out of about 10. Agreed none of them was really horrible and he does have to deal with a felony on his record BUT really he was not going to stop doing these things until the system came down hard. So in another state they may have come down harder than some place else. But really something had to happen and as awful as it is to say it they did the right thing by putting him in jail, and then also did the right thing by letting him plea and go to rehab. [/QUOTE]
