If it's still registering in your system and they find cause to check you, then yes.\n\nYou should have stopped before you became pregnant.  Children deserve better than a pothead for a parent.  Seriously.  I partied when I was younger, but I can't imagine smoking pot after having children. Good grief, you're a grown up now.  Use your head.

Possession of marijuana

Good for that officer. I hope he added child endangerment charges against the "parent". What a total idiot. \n\nThe real sad thing is this has been discovered a lot more than once. Everything from marijuana, crack, and meth has been found in diapers. A lot of dealers use kids of all ages to transport/hide their dope. If caught, those dealers get slammed (rightfully) with heavy prison sentences.

If you children are minors, then yes. You cannot just leave them there, they will report you for abandonment.\n\nIf they are legally adults, then no. You do not have to do this and I suggest that you don't. Don't let them think that you are their failsafe for committing crimes and getting bailed out. Good luck.

depending on the state and judge is what counts. In california many are given a citation with a court date.If minor has no prior history of possesion he could be given a fine to pay and/or community service.But dont worry about that start worrying of re ridding the use of the drug and the addiction

Sure you can.  DEA won't really knock on your door unless they believe you are getting a ton of it, however they will confiscate it and maybe keep your money.  Why don't you look into ways to get off it (as painful as it may be).  You will save money, be smarter (even though you feel smart on the drug, you are actually acting stupiderrrrrr......and people do notice.  \n\nIf you really really want to get it, you will, however you need a charge card and get ready to be ripped off, and there is no one to complain to.  I hope you don't have a family if you are looking to get it for yourself.  If the doctor will not give it to you, there is a good reason.  \nGood luck to you otherwise.

hello, I see this kind of thing happen a lot, as I fequently must go to my local court house.  If you have never been in trouble before and don't have a record, they will most likely put you on a 6 month probation period.  Drug testing could be a serious option for you but if you pretty much have a clean record you will get off easy.  You definatly wont see any jail time for this offense.  It really depends on how much marajuana you were caught with and also what the DA(defense Attorney) would like out of you. Don't worry about it.  Just stay out of trouble from now on!

Contact some of their parents if possible.\nIf you get no satisfaction from them, keep calling the police until they get tired of you and approach the kids and scare them off.\nDon't keep their ball unless it has damaged your property and you are holding it as evidence when you report to the police. Withholding property which you knowingly belong to another is criminal. It's called conversion.

This sounds like a terrible story, but is there a question in it somewhere?\n\nEDIT: Okay, let's try to figure out what the question is.  Are you trying to figure out how you can get your daughter back from your ex-husband?  If that's it, you really ought to talk to a lawyer...maybe you can find a decent one through the Bar Association that will do some pro bono work.  If you just aren't interested in working with lawyers, and you really want to involve this group in something as personal as this, you're going to have to post more details...and more *relevant* details (stick to the facts, ma'am).\n\nIf you want better answers, ask better questions and include more of the important details.  Things people might want to know are these:\n\nAre there any court orders right now?\n\nWhat state do you live in?\n\nWhy did your ex take your child, or at least why do you think he did or what did he tell you?\n\nHave there been any allegations of improper parenting on either side?  Any mental health issues on either side?  Drug use?  \n\nIf I'm guessing correctly at what you want to know, I just don't think you're going to be able to get the answers you need in this forum.

cops cannot legally take custody of a child from one biological parent and give it to another.  UNLESS the children are in danger.  \n\nHe needs to get a court date and fight for custody of those kids.  Also, those cops can get in trouble for taking the kids.  \n\nIf the house was his, the wife had no right or business having a key or allowing anyone else in the house without his permission.  \n\nHe needs to get a lawyer and do it soon!

It sounds to me like you need an advocate to press your case.  If you can't afford an attorney, you should seek out whatever free legal advice your community might offer and talk to someone.  I can't imagine any judge thinking that parental drug use is no big deal.  But family courts and child welfare systems are serious bureaucracies that the average citizen can rarely navigate--even when there's no trouble.  Good luck.

The local law enforcement agency can at least tell you what it isn't.  That might put your mind at ease in the case if it is an illegal substance.  You might try asking your daughter.

If you both live in the same state, you need to give your permission before he can take the kids out of state, and it should be in writing. If he takes your son out of state without your permission, contact your local police and advise them of the situation. It is not necessarily kidnapping unless he does not intend to return with your son when his time for visitation is over.\n\nYou really need to pose this question to your local police department. If the police won't help you, or answer the question, you need to talk to a lawyer in your area that deals with child custody issues.\n\n"Parental child abduction, in simple terms, is the permanent removal of a child from their place of habitual residence (the place where their life is established) by one parent, without the permission of the other parent. A common parental child abduction scenario involves a divorced parent who lost a child custody battle. Depending on the laws of the country the child has been taken from, this may or may not constitute a criminal offence. From the UK, to remove a child for a period of 28 days or more without the permission of the other parent (or person with parental responsibility), is a criminal offence.\n\nSerious problems can arise when parental abduction results in moving a child, with a parent, across an international border. The laws of the states are different, and a foreign child custody order may not be recognized.\n\nThe Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty and legal mechanism to recover children abducted to another country by one parent or family member. The United States signed this into law in 1988. Japan is the only G7 nation that has not signed this treaty into law."

I am an attorney in California, but I do not practice criminal law.\n\nI strongly urge you to go to an attorney who specializes in DUIs. Your fiance has much bigger problems than worrying about whether the offense committed when he was 15 counts. To my knowledge, juvenile records are expunged, although you might need to request an expungement. The offense won't necessarily be counted, but if the record is not expunged, it will still show on the prior offenses, and the judge, though  not counting it as an offense, will take it into consideration.\n\nAside from the offense as a minor, because one of the offenses involved drinking under the legal age, and the subsequent offense was committed within 5 years.... did you know your fiance could go to jail for up to a year? It is a given that he will go to jail for at least 90 days. The law is very clear on this.\n\nOn a more personal note... you need to call of the marriage. You fiance is irresponsible and has a drinking problem. He is eventually going to kill himself or other persons. If you are married to him, in California, YOU could be held civilly liable for the actions of your spouse. YOU could lose your house, other property, and have YOUR wages garnished... not to mention possibly being the widowed mother of fatherless children.\n\nDon't go there.

It depends on where you live.  Many states in the US forbid the withholding of parental visitation rights without a valid order.  If your ex is a substance abuser, you need to have it documented so that your child is protected.  Call the police, department of child services, your divorce attorney, whoever can LEGALLY have your ex restricted to supervised visitation.  He can't very well show up wasted if there's a social worker watching him, can he?\n\nKeep in mind, your ex's family may be very attached to your child, so make sure that they are able to see him.

It depends.  Controled substances like hydocodone is not a felony unless you have a HUGE qty.  However, even a trace of cocaine, meth, crack, ice, etc...is a felony.  After one gram, it becomes a 3rd felony....and it really starts snowballing fast after.\nBest advise?  Run like hell away from that stuff.  It will only hurt you and your loved ones.

The effects of meth use in a parent child relationship goes a lot further than concern the baby will get the drug into their system. Meth users have no business anywhwere near a child and that is why child protective services will remove the child without a second thought and any family court judge in the land would take away custodial rights. If you are in a situation like this do what is right for your baby because the baby can't protect themselves. Good luck.
