One thing I've always had to deal with is parents wanting to teach their kids a lesson. Parents ask me how long they can keep their child in custody before they go to county. I've had parents wait till the next morning to bail out their kids. Parents will sometimes ask me to present the worst case scenario of jail, bail, courts, & all that goes with it to frighten the kid. I can do that, it's all true. I also get asked to point out that the "indemnitor" (meaning the responsible party) has the authority to revoke the bond at any time. That of course results in being put back into custody & needing to post bond all over again with a full premium charge.
Typically I don't paint the worst picture to my clients. I do the polar opposite & I am here to help my clients ease thru a difficult time.
When parents ask me to do this, it's like that old documentary "Tough Love".. I laugh all the way home. I hope it works & that kids never get into serious trouble, hurt themselves or anybody else. Don't get caught slippin!
