My youngest is 16 so I know she smokes cigs and I am ok with it, got to pick your battles, with that said last Feb I come home on a off school day and she has like three or four kids in the garage and they are smoking cigs. I get mad at her and tell her look your my kid this is my house and if I am ok with you having a cig that is my choice but these other kids are not my kids and that is not ok so DONT DO IT AGAIN. The next day they are off again and the same group of kids are here, she shows respect and when it is cig time they all leave and go walk around the neighborhood, they find a house for sale that is vacant and they go in the back yard to smoke their cigs. The realtor shows up and calls the po po, next thing you know I got the po po knocking on the door. I go outside they got all the kids standing there, the cop knows me I have lived here for 30 years. He tells me he is not allowed to search my daughter but thinks the cigs are in her pocket and asks me to tell her to turn them over. I laugh, ask him if they are in custody, he says no I look at them and tell them to get their asses inside now.
He leaves and I think all is well. Last week 4 months later I get a letter from Juvy telling me she is charged with criminal tresspass, lol, I was pissed. I called the cop and asked wtf man, really, he claims the realtor wanted to send a sign to the rest of the kids. Such bullshit, I take her up there she goes through the whole system, prints, photos the works. They walk her through the yard in cuffs so she can sell all the kids in jail etc. Then we meet with prob officer and she asks a bunch of questions then releases her with not comunity service no prob nothing. I LOVE MY KIDS BUT HAVING KIDS SUCKS LOL Now she has a record ugh.
