[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 7205, member: 27"] Since I have a son who has gone through drug abuse, I know all too well about the fines imposed. Do they help? No, but they definitely reinforce the fact that they broke the law. My beef is that some counties/states are tougher on certain things than others. It's hard to teach our children about right from wrong when they see someone just getting a slap on the wrist for the same thing they were sentenced to jail time, community service hours and/or heavy fines. It seems that some things should be across the board. That way, there is no doubt what the consequences of their actions are. It's like telling a small child - if you touch that hot stove, you will be burned. They know up front the consequences, and then either walk away or touch the stove anyway. Deb [/QUOTE]
