MINOR in CALIFORNIA..GRAND THEFT? Very Complicated Situation, Would Like Advice!!!?
Question by AlmostBritney: MINOR IN CALIFORNIA..GRAND THEFT? Very complicated situation, would like advice!!!?
HI! Ok this situation is extremely difficult for me to put into words considering my ties to the people involved, but to give you a little bit of background my boyfriend and I have been together 4 years. He has a 17 year old Daugher who is out of control! The problem is that he nor his is ex wife will ever follow through with any punishments or treatments or anything necessary for their daughter. She has been to an out patient rehab program for drug abuse, right after that she came home so high on xanax that she ran away in the middle of the night, her boyfriend is in prison for stabbing someone and the latest situation just tops them all but yet just yesterday she gets to go out and get a brand new phone and clothes!
Let me say this, I know she is not my problem and I in no way want to have any control over her but I am constantly upset about what goes on with her and how very little is done! My questions is coming so please bear with me, and keep in mind this is about 2% of what has been going on with her but I do not have the time or energy to type more!
Nebraska Drug Use: Drug Offenders – Treat Them or Build More Prisons?
As you have probably read more than once, offenders with some connection to drugs make up the greatest percentage of people in our prisons. Often, the criminal commits his/her crime either under the influence of drugs, or to gain money to support a drug habit.
But many of the prisons in the U.S., prison population has doubled or tripled over the last 20 years. Are people committing more crimes? In fact, national statistics show violent crimes on the decline by over 30%. What, then, accounts for this huge increase?
