Should I Have My Son Arrested?
Question by Aefs: Should i have my son arrested?
Recently my 16 year old son has started taking marijuana with his friend. I caught them about a week ago at my house, and I called the cops and had my sons friend arrested to teach him and my son a lesson. Two days ago I came home early to the house smelling like weed. I warned him that I would call the police on him if he did it again, yet he still decided he needed his fix. Im positive my son is very addicted and I am concerned for his life. I would make him owe me all the legal fees if I decide to procede with the police. Will calling the police and having him arrested make me a bad parent? What else could I do?

I don’t think you should because you don’t want to mess up his future by getting him arrested

Honestly, what teenager doesn’t smoke pot. And weed isn’t addictive and won’t kill him. It’s probably the most safe drug you can take. I don’t think you should call the cops on him, I think that’s a bit extreme. I think you should just tell him if you catch him with drugs in the house there will be consequences. Like Taking away his phone or one thing, that will cut him off of his social life. And by calling the cops it will give him a record which will later on possibly prevent him from finding a job
