[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 711638, member: 17635"] A memory from 15 years ago. I found a notice for our son to appear in court. He had a speeding ticket from another county in our state and there were three "failure to appears". Somehow, i convinced him to allow his dad and me to drive him down (very dumb move on my part). The courtroom was filled with folks who looked as if they had not had fruits, vegetables or air in a long time. The judge asked son why he had not appeared and he shrugged his shoulders. His father and I were freaking out. This was before he started getting in much more serious trouble. So, he was sentenced to a few days in jail...and, what did his dad and I do??? We bailed him out ON OUR CREDIT CARD.....because we could not stand the thought of him being incarcerated in that Godforsaken place. We now know what a mistake that was. (huge sigh). This was the first and last time we ever paid for any kind of legal stuff for him. And, this (first and last time) was a total waste of money. Would he have benefited if we had not paid this? Maybe so, perhaps not. It certainly would have saved his dad and me some $$, while we know paying most assuredly did [B]not[/B] help him down the road. Live and learn. [/QUOTE]
