[QUOTE="Marysmith2581, post: 606632, member: 16871"] Thank you Nancy. I'm sorry your daughter went on to have continued issues, but glad she's doing better. I didn't realize there was a chance he got get kicked out of college. He wasn't actually arrested (according to him and what I read) but rather given a ticket for these offenses and told by the cop that he'd better plead guilty or it would be worse for him. According to his words, the cops took the weed and the paraphernalia so I understand why he thinks this will be impossible to plead. What I don't understand by your post is this: If your daughter wasn't given a plea, how is the record different from the boy who was with her still have the charge? Is the trick getting it expunged later? Can we let him plead, pay the fine, and then get a lawyer or must we insist he have a lawyer now? He is so stubborn. He insists it's not worth getting a lawyer and that it will just make things worse. He thinks if he pleads guilty and pays his fine, it will just be a blip on his record and he can move on. I'm with you - I'd rather lie and save his future even though I know school of hard knocks is another choice. Thank you so much for writing to me, Nancy. Of course I have a fake name here to protect him - I hate liars so I thought I'd just admit that. :smile:"Mary" [/QUOTE]
