[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 636751, member: 30"] I agree with what everyone has said since your last post. I'm not sure how old your son is, but he must be of legal age to be charged as an adult. As an adult, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that your son knew what he was doing and what he was participating in and who he was participating with was WRONG and ILLEGAL! I understand this is your son and you love him. You should. But I would NEVER, EVER defend or back up such abhorrent behavior by my child! My parents made it very clear to me and my brothers and sister that they would back us up as long as we were on the straight and narrow. They also made it clear to us and we did indeed believe them, that if we got ourselves into trouble, we were on our own. And we were left to face our own music *alone*. Notice the term that I just used.... "if we got ourselves into trouble". Your son caused every bit of trouble he is in now. It's not about you deciding what a fair punishment is for your son's crimes. I wonder if it would be helpful to you to spend the same amount of time worrying about all the bad things happening to your son, and how unjust you feel he is being treated, and how these other bad guys are responsible for your son's predicament and just think about how you would feel as a mother and as a victim if another group of guys did this same exact thing to your son? I also wanted to say that I agree, your husband did not make your son homeless and thus cause him to commit the crimes he did. Your husband did your son a favor in trying to make him "man up". Your son could have chosen good guys to hang out with as easy as he chose the "bad guys". This is all on your son. As a mother, I do have compassion for you. I think it's very difficult to see our children sometimes as they truly are, but I believe you'd do yourself and everyone else in your family a huge service in doing so. [/QUOTE]
