[QUOTE="Eugenia, post: 707409, member: 21226"] UPDATE... He's been found: I took the day off yesterday to help my husband in his office, where my son was his assistant. Since these new troubles have surfaced, my husband has been terribly depressed and finding it hard to concentrate and be productive at the office. He's a business owner, there's no pay check if he doesn't produce. He lost his father on 12/31, so the pain of all this has been overwhelming. Son calls husband yesterday, crying on the phone to please come and get him. He's held up again in the "shooting gallery" in Paterson, NJ. They will let him out today if he pays $120. I insist on going w Husband to pick him up. Husband warns how dangerous the area is, I don't care, he's my child, I'm going to try and get him out of there, lying or not, if I can get him to hospital and into treatment, I'm going to try and keep trying. We arrive in the bowels of hell, and park where he tells us to park and wait a few minutes for him to come down the street. There are 'look outs' posted all around the corners surrounding the block, and it's not a great place to be. He takes the $120 (odd number isn't it?) and returns to the 'shooting gallery'. I insist my husband turns down the block and park in front of the house. What breaks my heart is this block is full of families.... outside, showering snow after the recent snow storm (about 6" here), moms & dads with their children, yes, children live on this block... a little boy about 5 years old and his sister not more than 8 years old are outside playing with shovels and helping their big brother, another child of about 13 years old.... they live next door to this house where my son has been held up, and tells us is forced to sell drugs to the people who enter into the hallway. I wanted to take those children into my car and bring them home with me, it was so heartbreaking to see the potential danger that surrounds them. So we wait, and maybe a few minutes too long, and Husband says, he's done it again.... he's taken money to use, and he's not coming out. Husband has done this twice already this week, given him money, he goes into the house and doesn't return. But I'm insistent to stay, and I'm ready to go inside and get him myself. Husband insists its too dangerous, but he's my son, I'd take a bullet for him. Husband and I are now arguing about me getting out of the car and going in, I tell him to call the police, and tell them what's happening, wife inside house of drugs trying to get her son out, they'd come for something like this... and Son walks out, shaking, crying, a total mess. Took him to hospital, where he will admit himself again by saying he's suicidal, and hopefully get a bed in the Detox or rehab. I'm waiting to hear from him today, assuming he actually went into the hospital and was admitted. The story continues.... gina [/QUOTE]
