[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with getting an attorney. Unfortunately “It wasn’t his knife, he didn’t know it was there” is unlikely to carry much weight because if it did, lots of parents would say that to get their kid out of trouble when they got caught with something they shouldn’t have.[/quote]

I agree.  Thanks.  In my state they do consider intent.  If he had an altercation with a student or a school record, it would be a done deal.  He's a kid that played football all week, got his butt kicked on Friday night and then would limp into his job on Saturday and Sunday to work 16 hours.  People criticized me for making him work but if he wants money, he's working for it.  His work loves him. his teachers are shocked saying he is one of the politest kids they know and he has tons of friends.

Vape and marijuana is way more prevalent than parents are aware of.  Not making excuses.  He is guilty and will get up at his hearing and admit FULL responsibility for his actions.  No excuses.  The one thing the officer said is that he did not lie, deny and told them exactly where it was.  He was polite and cooperative.

Kills me.  I have a quote in his room that I put there a few years ago saying., "you are always free to choose but you are never free from the consequences of your actions". He'll be facing severe consequences real soon. Obviously, won't be going away to college next year will be a big one.[/quote]

If he's in school and sports, he doesn't need to be working the school year too. Its not about him being guilty.  Yes he is but you need to minimize the long term consequences of a drug conviction.  You need consequences at home.  You are making excuses to say it is prevalent and acting like there is nothing you can do about it.  You will not do anything about it and being polite and cooperative has nothing to do with it.

Get him a good attorney.

Quit the job and restrict money given he's using it for drugs.

Consequences at home such as loss of car outside school and activities and grounded.

Drug treatment program with drug testing.  Trust but verify.

If he is convicted of drug charges, no college may take him.

Or, if you and Dad are divorced, maybe he should go live with Dad if you cannot handle him.[/quote]
