My 16 Year old was attacked at a party by 2 older people unknown (At the Time) AGES RANGE 18-20. NOW MY SON IS BEING CHARGED FOR CLASS C FELONY ASSAULT 2ND DEGREE…One of the guys got in a pretty big fight after (And got injured I guess). but I took my son to the Hospital he had several bruises and scrapes as well as a head injury.Now that this guy is claiming this…Does this mean he’s admitting to attacking my child? Can I file charges on him as well? To my understanding he and some of his older friends were at this home with 13-16 year old kids supplying alcohol and drugs to these kids and picking at all the younger boys…I have hired an attorney we meet on Dec. 3rd…My point is…Can I file charges on him and others now that I know for sure who they are? And he claims to have witnesses (14-15 Years in age Girls) That he’s obviously still giving illegal things to…! (bargaining)..My son has a witness as well…Which is honest never in trouble and she is a straight A Honor Student…This other guys witnesses are already in the juvenile system…What are our chances? And what charges should we file if any now that this guy is slightly leaking he hit my son?
For starters, my best friend, Jovi, well she’s having a problem with her parents. I am 16, she is 14. We all live in America. It’s really her parents, they fight, a lot. Basically every week actually, and then they are good again. And it really hurts her when they fight. Stuff they usually fight about is so dumb. It’s usually stuff about their son (who is an alcoholic), her accusing him of cheating on her (which he really never would do), and other stuff. I think it might be becuase when they were much younger (before Jovi was alive), her dad mistreated her mom when they lived in Venezuela (it’s unfortuntly common there). A lot of the problems occur when they drink, which they do a lot. Well tonight they got into a fight and Jovi’s mom told her that she was going to move back to Venezuela this December. Jovi is now saying she actually wants her parents to get a divorce (which they sometimes want), and it’s making me upset. It’s hard for me to watch her sit there and not try anything…

…to help fix it. It almost makes me feel angry at her, like she doesn’t care about them. Now something you should know about Jovi, she’s really a selfish person, a good person, but unkowingly selfish. I think that’s part of why she wants them to split, because it hurts her when they fight and she’d feel better if that ended with divorce. Another thing about her, she doesn’t think about cause and effects, like what will happen in the future. And I am really really close to her whole family (they really are great people when they get along), but I just don’t see how any of her family could possibly benefit from a divorce. Her mom (unemployed), completely relys on her husband for money and she speaks no English. Jovi attends a really, really expensive private/catholic highschool (she has some financial aid for making great grades). Honestly, I think Jovanna has a really great future ahead of her. She will probably be the first of her family to go to college and the…
(CONTINUED)…
…And just have a great life. I don’t know how this could affect it though. I don’t know what to do and I told her to talk to both her parents for real and tell them that what they are doing is hurting her. She told me she is going to do that. Well, basically that’s it. AND for anyone telling me to stay out of it, it’s not gunna happen becuase my best friend is asking me what she should do and I want to give her the best advice I can give her. I really don’t, and I know she really doesn’t want to see them break up. AND most of you say it’s usually for the better. This for sure wouldn’t be, as Jovi then might move to Venezuela where she can’t get anywhere near as good an education as she could here, and I really want her to have a great life. So please, help me out.
Thanks
this was for charge of assault. which he and a friend denied saying the accuser lied, the accuser is somewhat disabled and previously threatened the neighbor son due to his relationship with a woman friend. my friend got phone calls from the accuser months ago threatening her son in most violent way,,,I told HER to call the police which she did not do. her son is a lifestyle mess however, he has previous non violent problems with police, huge debt, joblessness, alcohol, no car registration, and other issues. and he didnt show up for court appearance some months ago. so after this accusal he was placed in lockup with bail. and now he is out, next month was supposed to be in court in front of judge….BUT this accuser called my friend a day ago, saying he got a religious message saying he should drop the charges against my friends son. and my friend is pleased??
her son has problems but not violence…and they are out cash and he was in lockup (for him maybe a wakeup call, but)
the accuser did not call the police about the supposed “incident” until a month after the “incident” he never called the cops at the time, never went to doc or hospital,…and the friends son says he lied. shouldnt they INSIST on seeing judge on that appointed court date so this accusation never happens again?
My husband is an alcoholic. We have been married 6 years (second). When we met he seemed to be the nicest person and I felt lucky to meet and marry someone I thought would be so good for me.
Things seemed good in the beginning, but after a while his drinking escalated. He drank when we met, but not to excess in front of me.
In front of his friends and family he is “Mr. Nice Guy”. A “funny” drunk. Everybody loves him. He would give the shirt off his back to a stranger. However, at home, he is mean and verbally abusive when he drinks. No hitting. Only I see the “real” him. I am smart enough not to provoke him when he drinks, and even asked him one time when he was sober about getting help. He replied he does not need any help. I am at the point of leaving, and his friends and family think I am “the b-tch”. They have absolutely no idea what he does at home. He is a good actor and they don’t see the violent side that I have to live with. Is this common with alcoholics? How and why would he be good to other people, and horrible to me, the one who loved him so much and put up with his mess ?
If I told his family how he is at home, they wouldn’t believe me and think I am the crazy one! I have a teenage son and I don’t want to expose him to this any longer as it makes him just as nervous.
When the day in court finally comes, I am sure he will be just as charming to the people there and make me out to be nuts. Has anyone ever lived through this? How do you handle it? Thanks in advance.
When i told him I was tired of his going out and getting drunk every night, he asked ME what are my options! I asked him to stop the drinking, but he said he wan’t about to change. So according to him, my options are to stay and deal with it, or we split up. He won’t initiate divorce, he wants me to. I believe it is so that I will come out looking like the “bad guy”.
It’s not so much that I don’t want to be seen as the bad guy-I would like just for once for someone else to see the real him. I think it would help me to validate that I am not really the “crazy” one here.

MY Son and his girf friend had stopped by to say hello at the wrong time and they both also were charged during th bust. Where is their rights???
I’ve lived away from my family for over 20yrs. My mother died last year and some people here have comments. There is a whole family of people who are in Chgo. to take care of my mother. My sister did not want to be bothered until the last minute, my brother was in jail, and I live far away. I asked my mom if she wanted me to sell my house and come be with her, she said no. I did not visit much because my mother was very verbally abusive. Now, when I am at the so-called friends house, they always seem to have something to say about my situation when they have never met anyone in my family. Yet she sits with her children and smoke weed and drink. One of her sons is a crack head and gay and the other is just a sad drunk with a baby and a lazy girlfriend that he always talks about. I am beginning to hate them.
The house down the street was recently sold to a friend of a friend of my husband’s and they became our friends, too. They rented their basement to a couple named Rick (age 40) and his girlfriend of five years Val (age 22). They were both on the street, doing crack and meth and god knows what else, and the first baby they had was immedieately taken into foster care and then adopted, after he went through crack withdrawal. Well, my husband took a shine to these people right away and expects me to do the same. But I don’t feel comfortable in the same freakin’ room with them. The first time they came over her bofriend told the whole group of people that Val was a crack whore for the Hell’s Angels since she was 16 and that he had “rescued her” (and got her onto meth instead.) Their language is appaling – Rick came over the other day and I was in the kitchen baking a cake with my 2-yr old, and in six minutes he used the word “****” 45 times, “************” 6 times, and “cuntlapper” twice. He seems proud that his 20 month old son’s first word was “*****.”
These two are trouble, I knew it from day one, and my husband is SOOOO pushing me to become best friends with Val.
Last night some of my husbands friends came over with coke, and Rick and Val went into the fridge and found the baking soda. And cooked up some crack. And smoked it IN THE HOUSE. (In the bathroom with the window open, given, but I was watching her son while it was going on). I have tried to Explain that these are not my kind of people. Cuntlapper, indeed. Crack? While my son is sleeping upstairs and Shayler (their son) is outside the bathroom door? I have also noticed money missing from my purse, but my husband insists I must be mistaken. Rick is his new best buddy. I hid my jewelery last night.
I need advice. Thanks all
My best friend is 27 years old. She’s married to a 24 year old man. They get drunk almost daily. They have a 1 month old son, and she has an 8 year old daughter. They continuously get into fights. Fist fights, fights where he chokes her and tells her he’s going to kill her (no the police wont do anything unless she files a report…… and soc. services wont do anything without proof either, so dont suggest those two things to me)
So.. I’ve been trying to get them into AA for help but Its not working. Are there any other tactics or techniques that you can use to convince someone to get help? Thanks
