My daughter (18) received an MIP. She was drinking "bitch" beer at a party. She was not driving; she was standing in a garage. A neighbor called in a noise complaint; cops showed up. Unbeknownst to me at the time. She attended her hearing and pleaded guilty. She was sentenced to alcohol assessment within 90 days, minimal fine. She told me (her Mom) a month later. I drove down, moved her back home. I arranged her assessment.
She started IOP treatment, attended meetings, etc. She relapsed with only 2 weeks to completement of treatment. She was kicked out of treatment. She moved back out back south with her friends. The Judge moved her next hearing up 2 wks. after receiving letter from recovery ctr. She was to obtain another assesssment, attend 1 meeting every day for the next 3 mos. Her next hearing is Jan. 9th. She has just started attending meetings (14 now), has not done assessment. She got fired from 2 jobs; not currently working, doesn't want to use her gas to drive to meetings, has no $$ for bus fare, etc. I am staying out of this and letting her fall hoping she'll learn. What about deferred prosecution or is it too late at this point????
