[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 304405, member: 805"] Paula, I don't know, I'm going to play the devil's advocate here. He is an adult and, while the judge placed him in rehab rather than jail, he is ultimately responsible for the decisions he made. I would guess that since he was not under arrest at that molment, he had the right to ask for an attorney (the question here would be was he aware of those rights) or to speak to police alone. I'm sure he was listening when the judge gave him 18 months in rehab over jail. By running, I think he's broken that agreement. Whether the center has some culpability in this matter is kinda grey. This wouldn't be your normal adult situations where the resident has the final say in whether they come or go. Were there safeguards put in place by the court to insure your son's participation in the program. If he was listed as a "runner" was the facility supposed to keep him under surveillance? If so, they may have some responsiblity. But, as much as it may be tough to hear, I think slsh is right. Andre is now responsible for this choice and will have to pay the price in regards to further legal issues. However, I would be as worried and upset as you were I in your place. The not knowing has to be torture. Have you been contacted by law enforcement concerning his whereabouts? Were there provisions in place if he didn't serve the 18 months? Sharon [/QUOTE]
