[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) every single one of you would try to help your kid if they did this. So lay off your high horses please.

2) I doubt she will get jail time but that’s what a good lawyer is for.

"Help your kid" has different meanings to different people. Daddy bailing her out is not what I have in mind.

If my teen got a DUI I would "help" them by sending them to rehab and doing everything I could to make sure that they don't drive for the foreseeable future. I would expect them to suffer some consequences that hopefully will teach a lifelong lesson.[/quote]

Oh please. I love it when DCUM posters get all hysterical for no reason. She asked for a layer recommendation. You have no idea what else they’re doing or not doing. A DUI at 19 does not equal a necessary trip to rehab. Not that you or anyone else could make an adult do that. Calm down. [/quote]

No, you calm down.  A 19 yo who drives drunk has done TWO illegal things---DUI and drinking underage.  If my teen is living at home/I'm paying for college/I'm paying for anything for them, they will have to then follow my house rules for doing something illegal, dangerous and stupid.  My kid would be in rehab/therapy to address their need to drink, they would also be in intensive therapy to help understand why they drove when drinking, as we live in an area where Uber/Lyft are readily avaialbe and we as parents will always pay for that  (sort of like how we would always pick them up in MS/HS from a party/friends place/anywhere they were uncomfortable)

The 19yo could have KILLED someone.  Next time they might, so I'd be doing everything to insure that next time never happens

What does your word salad have to do with a lawyer rec? That is what OP asked for. Your judgment was not solicited, isn't relevant, and didn't need to be shared.[/quote]
