I feel as a parent with a son who is on parole, that it is very important to be supportive and there for your loved ones to help them get through the parole successfully! But I was found to be wrong by the parole officers, when they said I was to involved with my sons parole, and that he wasnt going to beable to move home. This is not fair and its just a way of making them fail, when there is no way my son can afford to pay rent, and his fines and restitution and also pay on his classes which the parole officer has put on him. He has medical bills to pay monthly on and he has collections expecting payments as well. My son is working making 7 dollars an hour and is working only part time shifts. he is to be paying out close to 350 or 400 a month and he brings in about this amount right now... So he can either pay his rent and forget everything else and end up in trouble or he should be allowed to be home where our bills are shared and he has the love and support he needs to make it through all this. SO WHICH WAY IS HE TO GO? He hasnt a choice because he doesnt get to make them choices he is told what to do or else. This is great encouragement i guess the parole officer thinks.
