Recently arrested son

[lostmom]

Hi I’m new and not even sure I’m doing this right, please feel free to guide me to where I should be looking and/or posting. [My young adult son was arrested but not yet charged. From personal experiences is getting physiological help best for a person immediately? My concern is that he hasn’t actually been charged cause his case is still under investigation. Has this ever helped a case in addition to doing the right thing mentally? I’m not sure which way to turn. Thankful for this group and I’ll continue to read.

We understand your hurt, definitely keep him under watch, consult mental health doctors. In the future I wouldn't discuss much private family information online you never know what coworker or someone you may know be lurking on public sites. Sounds like family therapy may help, group meetings with therapists etc... I only skimmed so sorry if I missed something.

The mind can only heal with time.

From anyone with past experience of sentencing, does this help his case in the eyes of a judge showing he acted with help right away?

It would be inappropriate for any of us to offer an opinion on a legal matter. Trials vary as do judges and what things affect their decisions.

Since you have an attorney, it's best to consult with them regarding the best course of action.

The most we can do is offer our empathy and compassion, and a sincere hope that your family finds a good resolution to this situation.

Thank you. Maybe that was too much info sorry. Should I erase this? Or do I need to reach out to an admin to erase? I don’t wanna make any matters worse. I’m completely lost and figured people with personal experience would be able to direct me since he is a very young adult.
