How would you have handled this?

No, he didn't. How annoying is it that many of the people posting on this thread didn't read what was written.

....which is entirely reasonable. No one, parent or not, should place an innocent person at risk of beatings and rape.

You need to read the thread. There is NO EVIDENCE that he continued to be involved with drugs after the first time his parents found pot. He denied having drugs and video showed that he did not do what the officers accused him of doing.

He was never tried. He was released after four months when it was determined that the video showed he did not do what he was accused of.

What a twisted opinion.

I was NOT saying that; I was just expressing my opinion on what I would do in MY son's situation. Perhaps I got a little off track. I think the parents of this young man are being way too harsh.
