Q: my grandson was put on probation 3 years ago with court ordered inhouse rehab, this never happened thru probation.
only answer I received last week was I wasn't working here then, he has been in probation violation for 2 years, his Dad did put him rehab in april 2019 but he only stayed 30 days, but last week he decided he would voluntarily turn himself in to jail. He wanted to man up and put this behind him. It has been 1 week with no bond hearing yet. Did probation drop the ball on this as far as rehab portion? I am a 68 yr old disabled senior citizen and am his only maternal figure in his life, his mom has died. I am living only on social security so my funds are limited. Can someone please help me help him! Yes what he did was wrong and I am not condoning it.
A: I would recommend either reaching out to an attorney in the area where your grandson is in jail or to the public defenders office. He is entitled to an attorney at his probation violation hearing.
