Desperate humiliated parent
Disciple of Prayer
My young 15 year old daughter who is her school's star student athlete, and is also being recruited by several D1 Universities, made a stupid and terrible decision to be at the wrong place and the wrong time with a 16yr old boy who was caught smoking pot . When they noticed the police, she panicked and grabbed the bag of pot and put it in her pocket to get it out of sight. The officer smelt it. The boy did confess it was his, though she could also face possession charges. The kids were released to us, while the officer decides what he wants to do in regards to filing charges or telling the school. The cop will "think about it", and try to make a decision by tomorrow. Her life is in his hands. Both us and the boys parents own businesses. I fear money extortion, blackmail and the choice of ruining my 15yr old's future of any chance of pending scholarships or the chance to play college athletics. I am sick to my stomach, and am so ashamed, I am stressed, humiliated and I don't want to show my face. I can't function. If he decides to charge her and this goes on her school record, I simply don't want to live anymore. Please pray for us to get out of this nightmare. She has learned her tough lesson! The punishment for a lapse in a 15yr olds' judgement shouldn't be a hardship on all of us for the rest of her life.
