[quote=Anonymous]Has he ever had to face consequences? Is he remorseful? Genuinely? Do you. Think it was a wake up call and he will try to do better? Or is he just desperate to get out of the current jam? I used to work in Baltimore City jails when I was in my early 20s with no real life experience. What I learned was that "anyone" from any walk of life can end up in legal trouble. But there was a big difference in mentality between those one-timers who were scared shitless and those who were repeated offenders and/or didn't think too much of it. I'd likely bail him out either way at such a young age, but impose the types of requirements you are thinking about. I'd also try to figure out what may have prompted his behavior. Is it stemming from depression, anxiety, possible substance use/abuse, anger management, failed love? Try to address any underlying issue as well. Good luck.[/quote]
