[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 384380"] Well I am right there with you....my son is currently in jail. He has been there 11 days and has a hearing on Monday. Sitting in jail has been a huge wake up call for him and he has now agreed to go to treatment to an out of state program I found that looks great for him.. So jail has been good for him but will only be good to a point. My very strong advice is don't bail him out... let him stew for a couple of days in jail. Let him think about what he is doing and where he is headed. I would however hire him a lawyer if you can. Your husband is right the court appointment atty wont do more than he has to. We found that out and hired an attorney for our son. They are doing stupid things now but you don't want them to end up with a felony on their record if you an avoid it, that has life long consequences. I am not sure with my son we will be able to avoid it but we are doing the best we can to. But jail has been a good motivator for my son and it may be what finally gets him some substance abuse treatment. [/QUOTE]
