[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 645193, member: 15473"] Lil, First let me say WOW just WOW! Now let me say this. I am of the mindset that you and Jabber can meet in the middle on this one without letting your difficult child think you have rescued him. The first thing I would do is sit down with difficult child and tell him that you will be there to support him if he has questions or concerns but that since he commited the crime then he needs to deal with courts/lawyers. My thoughts would be to try to make sure he gets a public defender. His income is so low and so sporadic he can't have made much last year so he might qualify. The next thing I would do as a member of the courts and corrections communities is that I would speak to the public defender and let him know that this is your son. I wouldn't ask for special treatment. I would just want an opportunity let him know you and Jabber are there to support difficult child but not to fix this. I would also ask that difficult child not be told of your visit. The last thing I would do is answer difficult child's calls and try to assist him with his decisions. If it's a petty theft then he could easily get probation or community service right? [/QUOTE]
