Carl blew it this time. Had a new court date set for his probation violations. He had been on house arrest which means he can't go anywhere without me. <br /><br />Last wednesday night he wanted to go into the woods behind my house. Told him to remain in hearing distance. If he can't hear me call him, and I don't get a response back, then it is time to call the sheriff. <br /><br />Well to make a long story short, he took off. He stole my tent and sleeping bags. I called the sheriff and reported him escaping from house arrest. This was around 7pm. At 9:30pm a father called me and asked where Carl was. He said his daughter was surpose to meet up with him. I told him that the law was looking for him at that time. Then the father told me his daughter was only 13! Yikes! <br /><br />Did some investigating (checked his history in the instant messenger) and found he had planned to run away for the last week. Wife and I figured out about where they were headed. Called his close friend and found out that he had given Carl a ride to do all this stuff. He confirmed about the exact location they went. By now it was 11:30pm. Sheriff said they wouldn't search the woods till morning. We called the people who owned the property that we felt he was at to get their exact address. They didn't want to give it to us because they knew about what Carl was doing. Shortly after we got their address, Carls friends mom found out that the girl he was with was only 13. So she called the sheriffs dept and reported tresspassers. <br /><br />So the county figured out that these were the kids that they were looking for. At 1 am they found them back in the woods about a half mile. Then at 2:45 the sheriffs dept called me to come pick him up. He was laughing and was all doped up and didn't care.<br /><br />Took him home, made him take his medication and sent him to bed. The next morning, his PO called and said he put a warrant out for him. They finally put him into Juvie/DH. Friday morning we had court.<br />1st charge: Possession of tobacco $150 fine+ cour costs<br />2nd charge: Tested positive for THC<br />3rd charge: Possession of drug paraphanailure (sp)<br />4th charge: Breaking house arrest<br />5th charge: Trespassing<br />6th charge: Broke curfew<br />7th charge: Not completeing court ordered school work<br />8th charge: Not taking court ordered medication<br />9th charge: Failure to keep counselors appointment<br />10th charge: Possession of alchol (bottle of wine)<br />11th charge: Failure to complete his community service on time.<br /><br />Needless to say he is not a happy boater. He got 60 days in Juvie. It is lucky the sheriffs dept got there before they could spend the night intimately. <br /><br />So hopefully he will learn from this, but I doubt it will. He just thinks he can do anything he wants to regardless who he hurts or the laws he breaks.<br /><br />Finally no more smacking his hands. I hate for it to happen as a father, but its not right what he was doing.<br /><br />Just thought I would give an update on his decline in progress
