QWERT, who are you in this equation? A friend of one of the parties? Or, are you dad? It makes a difference because it will determine what you may or may not actually know about the case. The police generally act on the most recent court order. We do NOT know what the officers knew when...

Get some better friends. Seriously, as suggested, you need a criminal defense attorney. The "it's not my dope, it's someone else's" story is about as common as the sun rising at dawn. It ranks right up there with, "I found it and was going to throw it away," and, "These aren't my pants."...

Who took the car? Was this a person who has operated the vehicle in the past? Have you called the police and asked to report the car stolen and have this person arrested for stealing your car? And if you have not already done so, I would recommend retrieving the car before the fees rack up...

I also don't see any legal issue with answering a question about where a student was. Unless the teacher unlawfully accessed and related confidential information from student records, I don't see that merely mentioning that she "heard" the child was in "the hospital" (which can mean anywhere...

Also understand that your child could very well fail out of school as a result of missing the work. If she is so overcome with anxiety that she is regularly unable to attend school, you should seriously consider an alternative education plan. There are home study programs or other plans that...

In my state more than 75% of prison inmates failed to complete high school, and almost all of them had chronic truancy problems. When breaking the rules (i.e. the law) is permitted and even encouraged at a young age, it sends a message I doubt any parent wants to be sending. Fortunately, it is...

I never said that they SHOULDN'T home school their children, only that a great many people do so for reasons that will not benefit their children. And THAT I do choose to "second guess." And I, too, am married to a teacher who has taught for nearly 30 years in public and private schools, am...

There are pluses and minuses to the home school option, both from an academic and a socialization perspective. Too many parents use it as a dodge to avoid responsibility or to shield their kids from the consequences of their actions AT school. If the parent(s) have the capability to monitor...

Of course, the BEST way to keep the issue from getting worse would be for the kids to start getting to school on time. NC, like other states, makes chronic truancy a potential criminal act. Next time, it might be the police making contact and not a social worker.

Coming up this week: http://www.nleomf.com/ Ours was last week: http://www.camemorial.org/ I have friends on both walls ... THE MONUMENT I never dreamed it would be me My name for all eternity Recorded here at this hallowed place Alas, my name, no more my face "In the...

In those states where the age of consent and the age of majority are 18, it makes things a lot easier. And with the female being under 15, there is no exception in AZ for any "Romeo & Juliet" law there.

It's not all that difficult to sort these out. I have emphasized in juvenile offenses for most of my career and kids do not tend to cover their trails well - and they rarely act in a vacuum (i.e. their friends know about it, the details are on social media, phones, and computers, etc.). If the...

That depends also on whether theft is a disqualifying offense for a teacher in the state where you hope to receive your credential. It may play little to no part in the hiring or credential process. Though, even if not a disqualifying offense by law, a potential employer may decide that a...

The child that ran away will not be charged with a crime for that act, but, if the other child aided or encouraged the younger one, HE could potentially be charged. Whether he would be depends on other factors that we an only guess at.

Yes, it is a matter of priority as to what cases get investigated. If it can be shown that the 16 year old encouraged the 13 year old to be out of her parents' control, yes, he can be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor per ARS 13-3613. Whether the boy will be charged...

You can seek a court order to protect dad ... you can remove dad from the home (assuming he is out of the hospital or will be) ... you can continue to stay in touch with the appropriate authorities. But, has been stated, you do not know what happened. If the police had a version of events...

If criminal charges are filed? Yes. If you are in violation of a court order? Yes. If another parent has filed for and received custody? Yes. So, did you leave one step ahead of the authorities? Or, did you already have clear sole legal and physical custody and no pending court cases?

I seriously doubt that your "hell" will be more than a ripple to any DMV bureaucrat. Your license will remain suspended util you resolve it in the manner they have identified. You can argue it all you want, but, it will remain suspended. And a lawsuit? Not at all likely to do anything but...

Ditto Shrinkmaster - she had the right not to be using drugs while caring for her child. The child has the RIGHT to live in a safe environment, and this is not the case in a home where mom is tweaking. At this point, mom can consult an attorney to see what actions she might be able to take...

You can be banned from the store for most any reason. They do not need a successful criminal or even a successful civil case to tell you that you are not welcome. You should not have returned. Obtain legal counsel, arrange for bail to be prepared and then turn yourself in. Or, you can wait...
