No, puddin'... you asked about your license.Thank you for your reply cdwjava.
It's the legal aspects that I am asking for help with and very appreciative of the information you have provided.
If I keep responding, will you consider me at risk and give me weed, too?cyjeff??
Can you please stop responding to my post.
Well, apparently the parents were NOT okay with OP's actions - they did report him.You think that because his PARENTS are okay with your actions that those actions must be okay.
Hmm ... I would have guessed a solid.Well, there you have it folks, self-identified direct from the source.
TTW is full of hot air.
That's pretty much the way I read it (except it's not clear if OP took the pot from the sibling or from the 16 yo).Here is the timeline from the OP's post.
The OP is working with a 16 year old.
A sibling to that 16 year old produced pot that the SIBLING said was found in the 16yr old's room.
The OP took the pot from the sibling and handed it to an at risk youth for disposal.
The OP works with the county government.
The OP then lied about what happened when the parents and the supervisor confronted him about the behavior.
First, it's not clear who was in possession of the pot - whether it was the 16 yo or the sibling.Apparently he does not work for the county, his employer is a contractor. There can be a big difference. But, in this situation, it probably makes little difference other than to potentially expose the county to civil liability should the minor have been injured. This does not make him legally responsible for the child to the point where child neglect charges would likely apply. Likewise it does not grant him any legal requirement to seize marijuana or any other contraband. nor to report it.
Sorry, but the most serious criminal charge that leaps to mind is PC 272 - contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and even that might be a stretch.
We keep forgetting that the kid was in possession before the OP was involved. Even a mandatory reporter is not required to report the possession of contraband by a minor.
The OP screwed up and his employer may well be justified in letting him go, but I do not see a crime here ... aside from that I previously mentioned.
Read the laws for mandated reporting in CA ... it does not involve marijuana issues at all.First, it's not clear who was in possession of the pot - whether it was the 16 yo or the sibling.
Even if it was the 16 yo's, I'm having trouble understanding how "the pot was his, so I gave it back to him" is going to fly for a mandated reporter.
If the pot is being smoked or grown by the parents, there may very well be an obligation. If mom and dad here supplied the marijuana to the child, there may very well be an obligation. But, even mandatory reporters are not required to report any and all offenses committed solely by the minor.Okay, that is just screwed up, Carl.
A mandatory reporter must tell if a mature 17 year and 11 month old is having consensual sex but doesn't care if the reporter has to walk through a pot grow to get to the child's playset?
That sucks.
