[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 91193, member: 53"] My son will be going to court next Tuesday. I am hoping he gets the plea bargain of 4 years, serving 2 on good behavior. I hate to say it, but I hope he goes to jail soon before he can do any more damage. While out on bail he is suspected of committing yet another burglary and if they can convict him he will be serving a long sentence under the habitual offender law. We have done all we could, tried to get him help, paid for an apartment for awhile to help him get on his feet, and it was all for naught. I was ashamed for a bit, but then thought I never raised him to be a criminal, he was offered a good education, a great home and two parents who have a committed marriage. He had many opportunities that were denied to others, but he CHOSE to commit crimes. I am resolved we did all we could to prevent him from going down this road. He now refuses to be evaluated and at age 24, we can't make him go if he doesn't want to. He will be in prison for a while and when they find more evidence he will be in for even longer.....right now I'm thinking there are few options for him. Hope your son can cope with the prison life, he will probably not receive medications while there, but try to have him sign up for any programs they offer, counseling, church activities, anything to get him out of his cell. If they offer classes try to have him sign up for them. Thinking of you and know you are not alone. I never dreamed I would have a child in prison....it is NOT your fault. [/QUOTE]
