Criminal Law responsability in my absence

[kerryace2000]

Anyone know what will happen to me if my son gets caught with drugs in my house while i am away .I have been told that I would be responsible and I could be prosecuted even though I knew nothing about it and I dont even condone the use or possesion of drugs. Thanks to all...

It seems that you are aware of the drugs in your house. This could create a real problem for you. I don't doubt that you will be pressed on this issue if he is caught. It makes sense, regardless of the legal issue, to get your son away from the drugs immediately.
