[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 632726, member: 15801"] Hi Kathy, I have been where you are..... both in letting my son be homeless and the total reality that I would much rather have him in jail than on the streets!! So if your son has just been arrested I am assuming he still needs to be arraigned and tried... unless they already came up with a plea bargain... which is awfully fast for the court system. But although our court system in terribly flawed, with young people with drug problems they sometimes help provide the motivation and reason for them to get help! So hopefully the court will push him towards getting help rather than being incarcerated. This is what happened with my son, and in fact the court has given him several chances at rehab. And once they spend time in jail , they realize that is where they really dont want to be. I think my son would rather be on the streets than in jail. Also at least here there is not much in the way of programs for guys who are in jail waiting trial or sentancing... the programs are only there for people serving a sentance. My hope is that there is some kind of drug court where you are. That would be the best thing for your son. Get some sleep while he is not on the streets.
