Did I really do wrong to have this kid arrested?
Find answers to your legal question.





Did I really do wrong to have this kid arrested?

ok, my son is 16.
we exchanged phones and phone numbers, then about two weeks later I get a text asking if I smoke the greens
well I am on the neighborhood crime watch committee so it started my little thinking engine.
So I stated yes, y?
he said if I wanted to buy some or knew of anyone who wanted to buy.
I said let me see what I can do and get back with you.
So at the crime watch meeting I asked the Task Force guy what should I do, he had me to set it up with an Aunt and they popped him.
He has been arrested before for the same reason.

Did I do wrong, my son said that this guy is not his friend, but I just think he is saying that.

Well now my son is saying that the other friends are mad at him because he set the friend up, I told him that if they wanted to believe the guy dealing and not want to be your friend too, then they were not true friends to began with.

Hey I am a mother on this crime watch so I did what I thought I should do, especially if he was trying to sell to my child.

RIGHT?

WOW Isirap seems you have some issues there. I didn't call the cops on you, take a chill pill

And if I get hit by a truck, I will have my husband call you first and let you know.

You should ask the tough question of your own kid:

"Why the hell are you friends with a god-damned drug dealer?"

Don't let him evade.

You did the only thing you could have done and remained a thinking caring loving parent.

I think you did the right thing though you may have caused your son alot of trouble.

Your son probably will be mad for a while, but really you did right by hopefully getting another kid scared enough to stop what he was doing. Good job!

Right. This kid would have landed in jail again anyway. You just helped it a bit. Thanks Mom, you are great!

You're fine Mommie. They cry now or you cry later.

You are 100% right!!! You did what I would have done, but I myself wouldn't have waited for the meeting I would have contacted the police myself.
You were looking out for your son's best interests, but since this came to his phone and his friends are upset if I were you I would be monitoring him for a while, because this would raise lots of flags for me as to why the guy has your sons cell # anyways and why did he feel confident enough to make the offer to your son.
But for you, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! We all need to be as good of parents as you seem to be, too bad in today's society so many parents fail their kids in so many ways, We the parents are the first in the line of defense for our kids and the first ones who should be teaching them right from wrong.

you did the right thing, but just watch out for your son and make sure he watches his surroundings. some kids don't play, and will take that very seriously and could start messing with your child and blame him. so just be watchful.

You did the right thing.

you just cut off the supply to your son and all his buddies...you did a good thing. Never feel bad about that. If he was selling weed, who knows what other nasty drugs he also is into or selling. You helped out your neighborhood and many parents will be thanking you

good job!!!

Yeah, you did the right thing. Dont worry bout your son unless the kid's start bullying him. Just go on being a parent

You did the right thing. That boy shouldn't be dealing drugs in the first place.

ok, so now you've had your little Angela Lansbury moment, lets see what you've done. five years from now your son will still be the guy who narked whatshisname. you've lost something that you will never really get back. your son's trust. hopefully you don't lose the son as well, never know what kind of circle the dealer guy runs in. you could have seriously jeopardized his safety.


Mourning my Mom
I think you were 100% correct. Later in life your son will realize how right you were and I think it is great that you are trying to keep your son and family safe. Many parents today are not taking care of their children and that is why so many kids are doing drugs, smoking, drinking, and getting pregnant. I can bet that if more parents were involved, less bad things would be happening to our youth.

The kid should not have been breaking the law. You were right.

Absolutely! I would probably have done the same thing too. Tell your son not to worry too much about his High school friends. He will probably never even see most of them again after graduation.

YES THE LESS POT DEALERS ON THE STREET THE BETTER

P.S. think about this he gets caught with it and it stops him from going to colledge or getting a job...

Good work. Watch your back.

I would have done the very same thing. That little punk would go waaayyy down. Good job!!

One of those lessons for kids that really to take, no matter what they say. I lectured my kid about downloading stolen music and movies. He understood but pointed out that, when his brother set up my computer, he used an operating system that was essentially pirated with an installer's registration key. Had to by my own copy. It doesn't matter how he feels about marijuana. It's a demonstration that, knowing something will have some pain, you can do it anyway. He hears.

hmm if he was selling to ur child then yeah probs, but i don't think that is a reason for getting him arrested tbh like u get questions on here like "i smoke green, could that stop my growth" and ****, + millions of people do it,
and maybe it was a prank? i unno'


Your one and only source...
You did right, but the next time just let kids be kids.

as somebody on the crime watch then yea you did.
as a parent maybe you should have addressed ur kid about it.
and as for his friends they obviously do drugs so if they are cut off of course they will be pissed. they will probaly get over it but im not sure.
but u did the responisble thing in your position.
if u werent on the crime watch commite then i say u should have ignored it though.

No your a horrible person and a horrible mother at that.

He doesnt deserve to be arrested and your a snitch for snitching to the cops. He will probably get a criminal record or something and this will surely effect his future whether its college or his career.

Weed is harmless anyways, so who cares if hes selling it. He is providing a service to meet the demand of the product

i hope you get hit by a truck

I think drugs are BAD

but kids are not going to stop taking them would ever you do

it good to play your part in a crime watch group but leave the dope heads to ruin there own life there is nothing you can do or say to stop them from retaking it

if there smart they will stop it
