[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 645172, member: 17461"] There was a time when our son was picked up for a headlight out. The police were watching his car because he was already pretty heavily into the drug scene, I think. I didn't know that then, of course. Anyway, we knew things were very wrong. We did not know how to stop it. difficult child daughter had already been in "treatment" more than once, and it had only seemed to make things worse. She met really bad kids, there. (Wrote Cedar, the perennial innocent.) Anyway, difficult child son was picked up on a warrant having to do with this headlight thing, which had been fixed, and which a policeman had come to the house to verify. And we let him be in jail. And we told him that we knew it was unfair, but that this is what it meant to be punished by the adult system. And one of the moms whose own son would later wind up in prison, called us to ask us to let her bail our son out of jail and we said no. Neither of my children has been in prison. I don't know whether that stint in jail when he had done nothing wrong had anything to do with difficult child son not winding up in prison somewhere or not. He was like, sixteen or maybe seventeen at that time. Cedar [/QUOTE]
