My 13 yr old son is going to a juvi jail for taking his mother credit caRD IM SO SICK ABOUT IT

Well I don't know if your son has any problems that he can't work out etc at home or what.

But whatever it maybe best of luck to your family in getting things worked out, hopefully he learned his lesson and if not he could end up spending his whole life in jail one of these days. Hopefully that won't be the case.

Did you ever get a chance to speak to him to find out why he did such a thing etc.

Talk to his caseworker, and see if they will hook him up with a counselor while he in there. I don't think there is a way to short circuit him going there at this point if he has been sentenced there. They do allow visitation I think, and visit him and talk to him. Keep the communication open. Make sure he knows you are there for him, but also that what he did was not right. My daughter went through real hard times in the teen years and did a stint in juvi too, so do what you can to support him and keep the communication open.

Good luck.

well 13 isnt that old
to make a mistake like that
i hate to see a kid that young
go somewhere like that for being
stupid!!
being a dad myself
id apple his ass and talk to him
theres a lot of kids that have no idea
how to be a good kid
just because of there parents
and if your kid hangs with them then things happen
just talk to him.
thats what id do.BIGSEXY....

Sorry to hear about that.....maybe the jail will scare him enough to know not to do it ever again or to get into any other trouble. Talk to him and maybe he just needs his dad around more. Just a guess. Good luck to you.

I am betting this isnt the first offense. See if there is a diversion program for him like picking up garbage on the roadside this summer. Good luck!

i agree with lostmomfound.. probably needs to see how it is and maybe it'll have straighten him out. i have a 14 yr. old son and believe me i know how it is trying to teach them the good ways.. not easy.. good luck with him and he needs his dad more now than ever.

WHAT ???????????????????

i dont know!!
i could never leave my boy in jail or juv
but thats just me
ive never really had a problem with him
once i had to put the fear of god into him but
thats it
but we are very very close
mom was never there so we had each other 24 7

same here.. im very close to mine and so glad hes a good boy. but hard to keep him that way.. constantly watching over him making sure he stay that way

Sorry to hear about your son's trouble Walt. Hopefully he'll learn his lesson in juvi. But like the others have said, keep the lines of communication open between the two of you. Good luck!

Lol my line of communication if my son stole my credit card??? Would to beat his ass!!!!

MOMMY FEAR!!!!!

Not that I am advocate for physical punishment but Ive been known to leap over tall couches when he got out of line!!!!
