What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? RI
Hello all,
Long Story Short: My GF's son at 22 almost overnight became "Bi-Polar". During this pre-medication state he alledgedly stole some things from a client he worked for(he was a caregiver of handicapped young adults). He has no recollection of it but it seems from what my attorney has been able to find out, to have at least some merit. He will be charged with Felony Theft next week. Obviosly first and only offence and of course we are fully ready to fix any damage. I guess my question, whereas we thankfully have no experiance in the criminal court system is....what could we expect?? I figure the court would rather we pay them (fine) than they pay us (arrest and jail). He is now under a doctors care and making progress with the medications.....I hate to screw that up and turn a "other than this one day of mental bad choices" into a good kid going bad by going to Jail with people who probabbly are not quite as inoccent. Any info would be great!!
Thanks!!
