[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 442420, member: 84"] You're much nicer than me. My kids grew up knowing the phrase "you do the crime expect to do the time" cuz Mommy and Daddy aren't bailing you out of jail, aren't paying for a lawyer, nothing. Nada. No matter the reason. This is how I do myself, so why should I expect less of them? I think this is why I was lucky enough that although I had difficult children I never had to deal with jail. They knew without ever having to ask they'd sit there and rot. lol Then of course they'd have to face ME when they got out. Much worse than jail in their opinion. So, while I am NOT judging you about the lawyer, a question you might want to ask yourself is why are you willing to foot the bill when your son is obvious not even the slightest bit remorseful for what he's done? Lawyers are expensive, a trail is rarely short. It could cost easily thousands of dollars.....for a child who's not even sorry, so chances are high that the act will be repeated with him again expecting you to foot the bill for a lawyer. If it were me, I'd let the court appoint one and just be there for him for moral support, which would depend on his attitude. Like I said though, not judging, we each have to do what we feel we can live with in our situations. Hugs [/QUOTE]
