I'm terrified my son will end up sharing a cell with his dad?

Question

He's 16 and recently his behaviours gone right down. He's getting in all sorts of trouble with the police, and they already know his dad. My husband gets out in 6 days and I can't stand for him to see his son like this. What can I do?

Answer 1

you need to get your son around some men that havent been in jail. what do you mean that you cant stand for your husband to see his son like this???? he needs to be a good example by not being in jail himself!!. but what is done is done, maybe have your husband sit down and talk to your son about what it is like to be in jail and how it isn't a good thing, or OK. or just let him do what he is going to do, let him be in jail without bailing you son out and see how he likes it.

Answer 2

not to sound nasty but your sons role model is to blame for this.the dad thinks its ok so your son is following the trend he probably thinks it normal

Answer 3

okay, its not that bad, well the taxes and stuff, well just let them share it and and do that at&t thing where you can give them minutes and can take away minutes!

Answer 4

Maybe your husband can talk to your son very frankly about what it's like to be in jail.  He shouldn't spare any details. That might deter your son from doing anything illegal, or at least make him think twice.  

Maybe having his dad around will help. Depends on their relationship.

Beyond that, what to do depends on exactly what your son is doing and what the reasons are.  You didn't give many details.  

Answer 5

Look yeah, whatever happens... happens.

If anything happens to your son, which i hope nothing does..

then atleast you know you tried your best. And if he does go to jail then he might learn from his mistake. Jail can help some people

but dont keep beating yourself up for something your son is doing. I know its worrying but he will learn..

some things happen for a reason, maybe jail is what he needs in the long run?
