[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here for an update: all charges were dropped except one misdemeanor, which will also be dropped after one year of good behavior and some paid restitution. Whew.

Basically my kid (who had just turned 18, senior year) and friends snuck into an abandoned building to drink and smoke on the rooftop. When cops came everyone scattered but mine got caught. Charges included intent to burglarize and property destruction, plus the drinking and smoking and running away from cops stuff. Apparently there were other kids going in this place and posting it on social media, which is how they heard about it.

It really put a pall over all the end of year senior events like prom and graduation. Plus I've allowed very little freedom since the arrest. It's been a sobering life lesson for my kid and I hope put them solidly on a good path moving forward for college and beyond.

I really appreciate everyone who offered recommendations, support and sympathy. Parenting doesn't get easier as we get older, they still find ways to throw something new at you. [/quote]
Thanks for this update, OP.
This too shall pass and I bet your kid turns out great.[/quote]
