Id like to know how long it's going to take to see her again.
answered on Nov 4, 2017
Probably less than 24 hours. Depends on how many times she has done it. Her parents need to pick her up and she needs to promise not to do it again. Now, if she is on probation and curfew is part of her probation, then it could be longer.
