Your son has to go back and deal with the punishment for going AWOL. The help for people with mental problems in the army is not to good and they are extremly slow. It doesn't help either because everyone who knows him probobly know what he tried to do and is putting a lot of stress on him.

All you can do is try and support him and help him through it.

Have your son turn himself into a VA hospital. Here is a link to locate the one closest, contact the psychiatric department. http://www.theagapecenter.com/Hospitals/Military.htm#California

Call the gi rights hotline at 800-394-9544 and visit their website at www.girights.org
They will help you. Your sons options depend on which branch of the military he is awol from. There are more options out there than you think. I am dealing with a similar situation and this hotline has been a godsend.

listen to what one post said: call the G.I rights hotline...1-800-394-9544. they will give you the best advice. most likely depending on the situation your son will have to turn himself in and he will probaly get an administratively discharge, also known as a chapter 10, or othe than honorable discharge, no jail time. call the hotline #, dont wait.
