[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 440720"] "I can't tell you how hard it is not to hire a good attorney to try to get him out of the impending DUI charge. I can afford to do it and I don't want to see him have a record because of this stupid mistake of his." Please DON'T do this. My sister did this over and over again, with exactly the same rationale, and it just taught difficult child that he could carry on as he pleased with no fear of consequences, because rich mommy (he even told cops once, during arrest, that "You don't know who you're dealing with--my mother's rich") would always hire attorneys and get him out of it. It infantilized him even more than he already was via a lifetime of being enabled and coddled, and now he's a grossly immature, dysfunctional manchild at 19, with no maturity in sight. Let him suffer the consequences of his actions--better to have a police record for something minor at 19 and then, via stern consequence, pull out of his tailspin, than to tee him up for much worse problems deep into his twenties or, god forbid, a lifetime.
