[QUOTE="jetsam, post: 701811, member: 20689"] country, its amazing how the courts work isn't it! Just slaps on the hand..no real consequences. and not just in regards to minors either! I feel that maybe if my son would have had immediate consequences maybe his behaviors wouldn't have taken such a turn so quickly,(but i do say maybe). My frustration with the court system is over the top! here is a scenario... first son is over 21 so i have no input. Got arrested for pot possession. went to court, got a fine and what they call ACD which meant he was not allowed to get into trouble for 6 months..he laughs coming out of court saying its all about the money! ok 3 months go by this time gets arrested for heroine possession...released on his own recognizance. goes back to court..Im thinking ok they will put him in jail or rehab since its less than 6 months and he is in trouble again. He goes to court, they slap a fine, which he doesn't have money for...they let him go, say come back in a month to pay fine. thats it. He leaves court saying i told u mom, they only care about the money!! how the h--- can they learn anything from a system that keeps slapping them on the wrist? [/QUOTE]
