Mistake. I’d still refuse.
Giving up your tights for a parking spot?? Have the lawyer get that overturned too.
You don’t have the same rights at a school as you do on the street.

A little bit of vape in the car? Not ideal but not a big deal either. It was not in school - fight back hard, OP.

It wasn't a true weapon. And it is just pot.
I was waffling on the pot referendum in my state but now will vote to legalize.
Op get a lawyer and make it go away.
Thank you! This is ridiculous. Ten years from now, who gives a #$&*! What school is this?

How hard would it be for OP to find a lawyer during the weekend? Do you think this is why the school sprung it on them on Friday? OP, even more reason to beat this.

Did someone hurt your feelings today? You sure sound bitter. I'm pretty sure you're the same poster who keeps talking about OP not using child support appropriately and forcing her kid to work because she doesn't want to support him. There seems to be a lot of projecting in your posts. Most great kids make mistakes of some sort. You sound like an underachiever who is just looking for a way to find fault with others. It might make you feel better for a moment in a very warped way, but you're still going to wake up as the unhappy bitter person you appear to be from your posts if you keep this up.

Hope OP is rich.
Probably but she prefers to spend the money on herself which is why kid works so many hours.

FYI A knife is not as dangerous as a gun. You even said so yourself. Very big difference between a pocket knife and a Glock or an AR 15.

OP, figure out how to find a lawyer before Monday's hearing. This is not a kid who is a repeat offender or who gets in trouble otherwise. The hearing is not the forum to teach him a lesson. You can take care of that at home and go hardcore if that's what you see fit. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, it must be stressful. You don't want to look back with regret for not taking a lawyer to the hearing if things don't go well. You could have your son work to pay back some of the lawyer's fees as a part of his consequences. As far as kids going of the rails behavior wise, this is not catastrophic, so do what you can to keep the consequences in proportion to the infraction. Good luck, OP. I wish I had a lawyer recommendation for you.

I am so sorry, OP. I'm really shocked about the weapons business -- I would not have thought it would be a crime to have a jack knife locked in a vehicle. It's not like it was on him in school. Yikes! The drugs I get, and I'm sorry all this got spring on you. I hope you can persuade the arbiter that it was your knife. Funny story, I borrowed my dad's hunting jacket to go to the Van Gogh exhibit years ago (the lines were long, and it was winter). I kept setting off the security alarm, and finally the security guy just gave up and let me in. When I got home, I found a collapsible tree saw in the inside pocket -- so glad I didn't get caught with that! Hope they can see past the jack knife.
