Hello Minx, I had my son arrested twice after so many chances and recovering my things from the pawn shop. His usage has spanned 5 years, since he was 20 (Heroin). I don't regret it at ALL! Both times he went to rehab and learned something. He is now living at the Salvation Army and in their program for 6 months. His time in jail was important that he realized the consequences for his actions, though at this very young age, all you can do is hope that jail becomes their bottom. My son has one more year of probation and hopefully then he can get the charges expunged. Until then, One day at a time, he is doing good TODAY.
