[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 151689, member: 3626"] To me, a lot would be depend on good the PDs are where you live. Another factor would be my child's behavior -- showing remorse, trying to do the right thing now, following house rules, etc. I'd be much more inclined to help my child if my child showed that that help was wanted. From what you've said, that is not the case. He may be acting out of fear. In case he is, I'd sit down and have a long talk with him, explaining that if he wants your help, he needs to can the attitude and start trying to do the right thing as much as possible. The marijuana in your home is another issue. I'd be explaining in graphic terms that if he ever brought any dope into MY home again, he'd be on the street so fast his head would be swimming. No way would he jeopardize something I had worked hard for so that he could have his fun. He wants to use dope, he can use it elsewhere, store it elsewhere, but nothing -- not a pipe, not a match, not a seed -- in the home. You may have been blindsided, but that doesn't make you clueless. Clueless would be if you didn't think your son had problems, if you hadn't found the dope, if you weren't worried now. [/QUOTE]
