| Revoking his probation....
We got a letter from the DA yesterday and they are revoking my son's probation because he didn't finish the outpatient program. He has a court date in August.
He thinks if he signs up for classes in college and keeps working this will show them that he is functioning well. I'm not so sure. I have strongly suggested that he call the outpatient program and get back into it, but he is dragging his feet. After all, he's not really using you know!
I could call the place and set up the appt. and take him, make him go and he probably would. Or I could leave it up to him. He's 18 and thinks he knows everything. He could possibly end up serving some time in the county jail but it wouldn't be very long (80 days) I think.
So I just read Ann's post for today and I'm thinking that i leave it up to him. If he wants to take a gamble and see if he could beat the system, let him do it and deal with the consequences. The thing is, I don't really want him to go to jail. Any thoughts on this? Have any of you had similar situations?
The original charge was brought on because I found evidence he was selling adderall and called the cops. the charge was possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.
Thanks.
