[QUOTE="slsh, post: 304386, member: 8"] Paula - I am so sorry you and Andre are going thru this right now. Unless you're his legal guardian, he's an adult now and police can question him, period. He would have to request a lawyer but I think (not sure) unless he's being arrested, he doesn't have the right to an atty??? He can refuse to answer questions, which I know is a lot to ask of anyone, much less a 19 year-old. Rehab, like all mental health treatment, is pretty much voluntary for "adults". I think it's pretty stupid that treatment cannot be forced because how can a severely mentally ill adult have capacity to recognize the benefit of treatment... but that's a rant for another day. ;) It sounds cold and hard but if I'm reading your post right, the judge gave him a chance and warned him not to mess it up. From that point on, it's up to Andre to comply and make it work. I do hope you hear from him soon. I know the cold terror of not knowing where your kid is or how he's surviving. Many hugs to you.
