[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 585742, member: 15801"] ILMS - How long did he spend in jail? I know with my son a day or two in lockup after being arrested made no difference to him, it was all a big joke. Two weeks in the real jail was really hard and that he agreed to go to rehab after that experience, to avoid more jail time. I think I personally would have a hard time pressing charges... and using that to get him to rehab will just make him resent you and use you as the excuse not to really do it.... "I did it because my parents pressed charges against me and I had no choice". It would be much more effective to let the natural consequences of his actions let him get to the place where he realizes himself he has no choice. TL [/QUOTE]
