[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 96131, member: 3626"] It really is sad when the best you can say to someone is that you're glad their child was arrested. I am sorry you and wife have to go through this but I'm glad that there may be a chance to get him some help now. Does your town and specifically his school have a no drug zone around the school? If so, there may be a few more charges than expected on McW and those could carry some really hefty penalties. Can you and wife really live with not hiring an attorney for him? Not to get him off but to get him the best possible outcome, i.e., drug rehab. Can you live with the possibility of him in jail for a year or two, which is possible if there is a no drug zone? I understand that he is making bad choices and I definitely understand your anger and frustration, but please make sure you two can live with whatever the outcome is. A suggestion -- you might want to call the ACLU (privately) and make sure McW doesn't have a leg to stand on on illegal search and seizure aspect. The courts can be sadly strange on that one. If they express an interest in the case, then start worrying. Sorry. I hope there is a semi-good outcome to all of this. [/QUOTE]
