[QUOTE="klmno, post: 175956, member: 3699"] Thanks, rm! I was aware that misdemeanors were off the record after the age of 18- but I asked the court clerk about felonies and she said the law had changed a couple of years ago and that they would be there forever. I had thought that if by some miracoulus happening, difficult child was able to stay out of trouble now and turn things around, I would help him [I]TRY[/I] to get these felonies off when he reaches 18 or 21 or something. But really, right now that seems like an unlikely event. It's just right now, I don't feel right encouraging him or persuading him to go in a direction that might "reject" him a few years down the road. Edited to add: I would hope that if a kid committed a crime while a young teen or even younger did succeed at turning things around, that most people (including the military) would forgive that and let it go. The laws for enlistment can change as much as the president, so you never know I guess. My difficult child would have to change before I thought it was a good idea- but then, he's only 13 yo. It isn't like I should expect him to be able to handle fighting in a war right now. [/QUOTE]
