^^ Flagged.
ETA - Post #60 also flagged.
@LasMa, I also flagged, but no one seems to be on.
Mods sleep???
This person it hitting a lot of posts with really rude comments.
They’ll all be gone soon enough.
Good!
I noticed that too, @LKnomad , and pointed it out in my flag message.
Wow, you are just on a tear, aren’t you? 31 posts in the half hour since you joined, every one of them derogatory. Couldn’t get a date tonight, eh?
I believe he was already banned once tonight.
Well I’m up with insomnia, imagine that. Flagged him/her/it, too.
So, looks like he will be able to stay in the bridge program, which is a relief. However, the decision won’t be made until after Christmas if he can move onto the university in the spring…most likely it will be deferred until next fall. I’m sure they want to give some punishment and warning to others, outside the charged activity. He has to write an essay about what happened and include it in his application. There will be university classes he will have to attend to deal with all this, plus a university hearing.
So, on the legal side…attorney said that we don’t even need him. It is automatic with first time offenders that they can elect the diversion program. Large fee…which is coming out of his picket, diversion class and one year probation. At that time, if his nose is clean, we can ask for expungement. We went ahead and hired him because the hearing is during a once a week class…like missing the whole week. He will have that postponed to a better time. He also went and tried to talk to the prosecutor to drop the charges on a technicality…but he wouldn’t. Worth a try. The attorney said drug use is rampant. He also said that his kids first semester he did the same thing at a very expensive private east coast school…and that we will get through this.
He is home for the weekend. we all had a very serious talk yesterday. He wasn’t getting around that. He’s been really quiet and in his room a lot. I tried to lighten the mood by showing him some of the picture albums I had put together and he seemed to enjoy that, but he just seems very preoccupied and Wouldnt watch TV with us. I was tired and went to bed early, and he was already in bed. I’m sure this week has been quite taxing on him.
I will tell him again today I am proud of all his hard work and grades this semester, and kudo for taking charge…like I was reminded!
I will also get ahold of the director just to let her know we are letting him handle this, but just wanted to let her know we are on the sidelines available to answer any questions. I wanted to do this, but DH says it would look bad to contact her. I don’t think do, if this was all that was said.
So, that is what is going on. What a week.

Where are the mods?
Conmama, I don’t think it’s bad to contact her either, as long as it’s just the one conversation to let her know your S has family support, and you’re available. I really can’t believe they’re making such a big deal out of this, especially for a first time offense.
The attorney is right, you will get through this. Make sure your S gets that message. Even if he brushes it off or doesn’t believe it, he still needs to hear it.
Hugs.
Agree with LasMa.
I also agree with the prior 2 posts and am glad your S is able to stay in the program. You will get thru this–remind your kid you’re proud he’s learned from this and will be stronger going forward.
Can CC recommend a banned camp for RichardSuce?
Looks like I missed all the excitement last night with the now banned poster. I was confused at first about the flag comments until I realized the posts in question had been removed. Not what conmama needed, I am sure.
Sounds like this will be a surmountable event, and your DS will learn from it.
That was the first time I had encountered someone like that. He was incredibly vicious in his comments all throught different posts and forum.
Conmama, hugs. I’ve been on CC for ages, so this was not the first such encounter. Periodically, some kid without a moral compass creates an ID and starts posting vicious garbage. Usually it happens around midnight our time when most folks are off CC. Glad all of the posts are gone.
The attorney you talked too was money well spent, even all he could do at this point is to provide reassurance. Both you and your son need it. It sounds like the tunnel is short, and there is light at the end of it. Hugs.
Ps - CC needs a mod from HI time zone. 
Strong similarities with another midnight joiner, my time, who was banned very quickly. If you missed the posts, they were rough and no one spared. I didn’t want to say much til he was gone.
Conmana, good job. Seems you got a lot done in a few days. Hugs from me, too. And best wishes. we have these moments with our kids.
I’m glad you’re all handling it head on. I hope it doesn’t derail your son. It was a mistake, it’s time to move on and learn something from it. I hate to think it will ruin his holiday or that he spends any more time beating himself up over it.
