My 16 y.o. son has confessed to burglarizing our home and his grandparents' home with some of his "friends". He was adopted as an infant and has been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD and is overweight and is very easily manipulated so that he will be liked--which is no excuse in my book. We will have to prosecute him in order to prosecute the "friends", which we intend to do. You may think that we are too hard on him, being this is his first brush with the law, but I see too many kids "rescued" by their parents that never learn their lesson and end up in prison. I will not tolerate a thief in my home. He has been taught better. We do not have the money to spend on an attorney for him. I would like to get a copy of his statement but have been told I need to hire an attorney and file a motion of discovery before it can be released. Can you tell me what I need to do to file this motion. Be forewarned I am not famaliar with alot of "legalise", but I am by no means dumb. I appreaciate any help I can get. He appears before the judge Tuesday (9/13/2005) and is currently in YDC. Thank you for your help.
