[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 739705, member: 1550"] Arent there services for ex felons to find jobs and housing? Even sex offenders find housing because we get notified when one does so help for all is SOMEWHERE. I forgot how old C is but he is going to have to probably work very hard for public trust but not all ex felons are on the streets. Except for your supporting him forever there really are no guarantees for him right now though. Im sure there are probably some lower level rooming, certain motels or less desirable apartments that accept felons or dont check. And that is often where they live until/unless they can turn it around. Or you do have the option of paying for him indefinitely. Its up to you but more its up to him. Nobody will judge you if you decide to pay for him. You wouldnt be the first. For jobs, restaurant work is thumbs up for those with criminal records, at least the restaurant I worked at. Although I can not speak for the entire franchise, I worked at Applebees. They did no background checks then and as long as the person worked hard, it was fine. At various times people worked there during the day and went back to jail at night. One young man had to wear ankle bracelates but the uniform covered them and recently he has ended parole and has been promoted to management. He turned his life around. I hope C can find some guidance and light and sending you lots of love and light. [/QUOTE]
