[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 735722, member: 17720"] I agree completely. Their fears are understandable. I'm sure you've had them yourself. But they are much too close...and as the parent, sometimes we have to make the painful choices that grandparents don't have to make anymore. They need to respect your decision. You are the one living this every day. It sounds like your son is refusing to acknowledge the seriousness of his situation, and perhaps he needs to have that brought home. Better now than when he is facing down more serious crimes and thinking the rules don't apply to him. I can't help but wonder how many times your dad refused to prosecute someone ignoring community service requirements because he didn't want to give them a "death sentence?" [/QUOTE]
