[QUOTE="Lil, post: 661855, member: 17309"] Nat, I'm so sorry. We're in much the same position, except that our son's charge is a municipal misdemeanor. I worked out a plea bargain to an SIS, 40 hours of community service and costs, 2 years unsupervised probation. (I'm an attorney.) He didn't even have to pay for the community service. I worked that out so that he could do it for my church and simply get a letter of completion. When he left to go to his girlfriend's, he said he was never coming back. To our knowledge he hasn't gotten a warrant - yet. But he will have. My husband is a mandatory reporter, working for Department of Corrections. If we know there is a warrant, he will have to call the police if he ever returns home. I told him, if he ever wants to face things, likely the court will not make him serve much, if any, time. But the longer he is gone, the more likely it is he'll have jail time. That he'd rather leave forever than face something less than 1 year in jail for a misdemeanor, is so awful. Mine left rather than work for 40 hours after which it would be like it never happened... I will never, ever, understand it. [/QUOTE]
