[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 614970, member: 1514"] I also am in the camp with not bailing him out. The court appointment attorney is wrong. If you sign for his bail and he doesnt go, they can make you pay for the remainder of the bail by taking something from you worth that amount. Or put a judgement on you. We used to bail my son out but we used his money. I could be fairly sure he would go to his court dates because he was living at home and I checked the website for court dates every few days so he wouldnt miss one. Now that he isnt in my home, nope, no bailing out because he has missed one and if the bondsman wanted to he could go after his father because that is who signed for that bond. Wouldnt do them much good because his dad has nothing in his name. I dont think jail is so bad. Prison either. I watch two shows quite often and they are LockUp and Jail. If you watch them you will learn that things are not so bad. I would put money on his books from time to time and write to him. You dont have to put much money on his books for it to make a difference. Star is actually right too...I think prison is better. They have more programs there. Believe me I know how hard it is to make this decision. They call from jail promising the world but they dont follow through when they get out. [/QUOTE]
