Prayers For My Son

Hi guys I know I havent been around much,busy with life. A terrible thing happened. My 15 year old son was arrested last night for breaking and entering. He sits now in Juvenile Hall where he will sit until at least thursday. There is more too it but I need prayers for him and for me to keep sober thru out this.

He had his football thing, colleges scouting him already and now this? I dont understand. Normally you cant see them right away but because of what I do, I can and will this afternoon.I'm leaving now in fact.

So if you can pray for us I would appreciate it.

Love you guys

Kelly
Kelly, I'm sorry this happened. I know how you feel as my son was arrested for drugs in February...it's so hard to believe that your child would do something to break the law. I will say a prayer for y'all

So good to see you honey, how are YOU doing?
Kelly- I'm so sorry my prayers are with you remember with faith all things are possible a few Christmas's back I sat homeless in jail with out my kids and with out hope. I was taught a program of faith and prayer and 3 Christmas's later I have most of what I lost back. You don't need to worry about the future. Things work them selves out. He may be just where he needs to be right now. I know I was. Prayers and hugs.

Hey Kelly..nice to see you..but sorry about this news. He is 15 better now then in 3 years..he is a juvenile and hopefully will be treated as such..please try to look at it like its an opportunity for an intervention...he is in need of help and is perhaps crying out!

Hopefully because he is still so young this won't effect the goods things that can happen in his life. My son stole my Jeep when he was 14...called the cops myself and let him sit in juvey for a week! I got him the help he was looking for and he never again got into any trouble with the law! He is 22 and has thanked me for doing what I did back then!

HP's have a way intervening at the right time!

Prayers are definitely with you....not an easy thing to deal with!
kelly..its so nice to see you posting...........

i am so sorry that is happened to your son..........

sending my prayers to u and ur son!!

take care xo
Well I've seen him and he's scared to death. I went in to see him, told the cop to look the other way. Hugged him and asked if he was okay, he says yes so then I popped him a good one on the cheek. He startes crying crocodile tears grabs me and starts sobbing. He says, Mommy I'm so scared. He hasnt called me mommy since he was 5. He's 6'6 and 250 and towers over my tall butt. It broke my heart. I got a lot of information from him his dad didnt simply because I talk to him and Dad doesnt, plus its what I do for a living.

So he gets out tomorrow. I'm going to see about custody because afer what he told me I think his safety is in jeopardy in this town. I got a lot of courtesy because of my job. I shudder to think what moms' who dont get that courtesy are treated like. Opened my eyes in away I didnt want them to ever be opened.

I have been crying and no sleeping for two days. I cannot believe my baby is in jail. Good news is because it wasnt violent and he is 15 he might get to extend his stay in juvie for a while but that should be about it. At 18, I can get his record sealed.

I was making myself sick so I had to let it go to my HP. I had to. Or else I would have fallen and what good would I do my son then? His father is refusing to even see him till the hearing so I"m pretty much all he's got. I told him some stories last night that I think really scared him. I hope they did. What his life would continue to be like if he stayed on this road. What he could expect. Rather than a football scholorship and college and possiblbly the nfl, the other side. He could have been playing me I dont know if I can believe anything he tells me. THe more I find out the more I realize he's been leading a double life for some time now.

I have no idea what to do or how to do it but I have to trust that God does.

So there that is. Thanks for the prayers and good wishes guys. We all need them.

Kelly...
I am one of the mom's that didn't get the courtesy but that is okay, be grateful that you did...You have to just give it to God, know you did the best you could do and basically it is all up to him to make the right choices....

For me, when my son got out of juvie and still continued to make the wrong choices, and went back to the hall, I didn't go visit anymore...I explained when he got out and was on probation that he had to live with his choices and if he wanted to see me and be a part of my life, he would do his best to stay out of jail...it didn't work and I didn't go see him...and when he goes back this time, I won't go visit...funny, I remember when he first went in how hardly anybody came to visiting hours but now I do understand...it's his choices that put him in jail, not mine....

Good luck and I remember the sick feeling and wanting just to make it all better for my son but God has taught me, I am not in control and so I have learned to let go and Let God....

I will pray for you and your son and I do pray that this is his wake up call....

Take care of yourself....

u sound like a lovely mum kelly. may god give u both the strength u need to get through this awkward time!!!!

take care
Kelly as a mom who has just gone through some heartbreaking this with my youngest I want you to know my prayers are with him & for your family!!!.
May God guide him & help him make better choices....
May God help the pain your feeling & ease your burden.
Amen
Kelly:

So sorry girl! Dang, I hate to hear this is happening with your family, especially during this time of year. Please know I am praying for your son and for you too.

I hope this incident will be a part of putting your young son on his path to making better choices. I know how frightening and frustrating watching children shoot themselves in the foot can be...from an outside point of view. I only see it through my friends lives, but I know the pain it causes.

Please let us know how he is, how you are, and know we love you.

Peace.
