My dadi is in jail! I'm so worried about him but my mom doesn't give a rat's *** about him! He called the house and I talked to him on call collect for like FIVE SECONDS and then it told me I had to get an account..I was trying to figure out how to get an account but the lady says I have to be 18...I don't know what to do, someone please please help! And why do you need to be 18 anyways? I mean can I just tell them I'm 18 and they'll let me buy the account? Has anyone else been in this situation before? Someone please help me I really want to talk to my dadi!!!!!!!! Please please please I love you

Sorry to hear about your dad. You have to be 18 to get an account because until you are 18 you are not legally responsible for any bills that you accumulate. You will probably have to give the company a credit card to bill the time used. I don't know how long that your dad will be detained, but is it possible for you to write, even if you cant mail them right away it may help you feel closer to him. Can you go on visiting hours? many places of incarceration will allow you verbal contact with your parents during open visitation. Talking on the phone to one that is incarcerated is very expensive they charge a large per minute fee. other ways of communication are your better alternative.

It is not fair of your mom to not provide a means for you to talk to your father. Your needs should be considered. I don't know exactly what you mean by an account, but one thing that may work is if you could some how buy a phone card and mail it to your dad in jail. He could use that prepaid phone card to call you at home. Some phone cards arent that expensive, even a 10 or 20 dollar phone card will go a long way. I hope this helps you.

The account they're probably talking about is to pay for the calls your father makes to the house. I thought they could only make collect calls from jail but I really don't know how it works. I really feel for you but I'm sure your mom's upset for your father getting in trouble which is probably making things harder at home. Just try to talk to your mom, tell her how you miss your dad and would like to talk to him and see if she can do something about that for you. But seriously try not to get all mad when you talk to her cause it won't help matters any if you do. Good luck to you ;o)

Well sweetie, that is why people have i.d.'s. If you tell them you are 18, they will ask for your i.d. w;hich sucks. The only thing you can really do in this situation will be to tell your mother that you want an account, that you miss your father and just because she doesn't like him does not mean that she has to keep you from him. It will only hurt you in the long run for her to take her angers (caused by your father) out on you! Let her know how you feel, don't be afraid to communicate! Hope this helps honey!

Kid, I love you too. I really hope you'll be able to talk to your father soon. Hope your father will not be in jail for long. I don't know what kind of account you are talking about, but think like an account to have a mobile phone or something. Try to get one using of your friends or their moms. Good luck.

hey, im sorry to hwar about your dad but what i can say to you is that you should try to communicate to your mother your feelings about this whole situation. the reason why you have to be 18 is because that age is considered to be the legal age, basically at 18 it is assumed that you can make decisions on your own without your parent. it means that when you are 18 chances of finding a job and being able to pay for that account you want to create is not impossible. your mother knows whats best for you and she does not want to see you being dissappointed by your father. i love you

Well, you can't lie to them, they can check you out. You must provide proof of identity to create account so you stuck in that instance. What about writing letters? It works fine, but its not as good I know but something :(
I would ask your Mom, only way to talk. If she loves you then she will help you and let you talk to him. Its not right to play off on the kid when you had problem with your husband.
As her nicely if she could let you. But if she won't it could be because she is afraid of his bad influence on you, what can be understandible.
Hope it helps even tiny bit.
Good luck and wish you all the best, Wolfy.

I'm very sorry to hear about your dad, but I'm pretty sure that you can't get the account because you're under age. YOu can't lie to the system because you do something, you have to provide people with your information such as social # or your driver liscence #. I'm very sorry, but I can't find the way to help you. I hope there will be people who know more than me to help you with it.

when my daughter's father was in prison, i had to have my long distance shut off. i know you want to talk to your dad, but honey, you have to be 18 for the account. the reason i had the long distance shut off (so he could no longer call) was because of the expensive bill...those calls are either (in my state) $2.25 per minute..(.from the county jail) or $5.00 per 10 minute call from the prison. is he close enough for you to visit? you'll probably just have to stick to letters for a while. your mom may have her reasons for being jaded...please don't judge her...i've been in her shoes. hang in there honey..my daughter had to do a lot of letter writing...her dad was in and out of jail most of his adult life, and did a 6 year prison stint.

Sweetie, its sounds like you need to be talking to someone privately not open like such. Anyway, please, for your sake and my own find someone (that you trust) to talk about your problems; do not keep them inside cuz sooner or later it's going to come out babes. And I'm sorry about your father, but my mom lives in another country and I hardly get to speak with her. I feel some of your pain. Take my advise and talk to someone.
