[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 759464, member: 18958"] Helpless. Please report it. You protect him more this way. The longer he's out there the worse this can get. He needs you to do the right thing. To be the backbone of what is responsible and what is right. You are right that this can be fixed. He could have fixed it, but he did not. We do not know what will be the PO's response. It is not inevitable he will have to go back. But he must be held accountable. In this way, he becomes accountable to himself. He is not only stubborn, he is immature. He had one thing go wrong, the fight with his girlfriend and he used this as an excuse to go wild. Sooner or later there would have been a trigger. He needs an extensive, serious program to learn the skills and to have a way to think about himself and his life, which will help him in moments of indecision that can go either way. On his own, he lacks this. You've got to do it for him. Remind him of the right thing to do, and that there are consequences of breaking laws. He has broken a law. That is the reality of things. I am so very sorry, Helpless. But this is not the worst thing if he has to go back. There he can learn. Running the street he can only come to harm. He needs to be reined in if he can't do it alone. and he can't. You have to help him. Calling the probation officer is helping him. I am [/QUOTE]
