[QUOTE="katya02, post: 298800, member: 2884"] I think it would give me peace of mind to pay off the fine. I'll get difficult child to work it off around our property, but for me it would make a difference knowing that difficult child isn't going to get the whole weight of the system crashing down on his head when so many waltz out of the same, and much more serious stuff, scot free. Michael Vick is one small example, all right. I don't trust the 'justice' system anymore, period. So for $150 I can sleep at night. Otherwise, difficult child is going to have to figure things out. He knows what to do to get a new SS card, so he has to do it. And if he loses his passport, I've told him - he'll have bought himself a one-way ticket back to Canada, minus the girlfriend, because I'm not paying for a new passport and he won't have any ID that proves he is a US citizen and can work here (or get benefits). That's all in his court. But I grit my teeth knowing his roommate from college, the guy who sold him the stuff in the first place and introduced him to worse stuff and people, is still dealing away over at the college and is in perfect standing with the school. Meanwhile difficult child, who wasn't smart enough to see what was coming, was left as the fall guy. [/QUOTE]
