If it was my son I would not turn him in. Because it is getting so bad with identity theft the law is really giving out harder penalties. He will probably go to jail. I would work something our with him my self to recover my loss. As for a job if he has a record it is harder to get a job.

If he is over 18 yrs old then he can go to jail and or to prison, yes. If he's under 18, then most likely no (only in rare cases). Getting a job after a FELONY prison sentence will be much harder. The felony conviction will keep him from working in any secured environment, where valuables are dealt with including hospitals. Sometimes the only way a person learns is by paying the price for bad choices. Sad but true.

I am not sure your son was so concerned about your long term future when he stole your identity and ran up thousands in debt in your name.
Yes, most likely he will face prison time, and yes it will be hard to find a job when he gets out. Employers do not want to trust a felon, and quite honestly in this case if a man steals from his own parents how trustworthy is he with or without a felony record?

There are different levels of identity theft, some are somewhat benign.
Having said that I believe "MOST" identity thieves not only deserve prison but should pay back any funds stolen + compensation for all the trouble & ruined credit they may have caused their victims. When they die there should be a special place in hell for them.
What you son is doing is very wrong. I can understand your concern. I would give him one chance to stop & undo any harm he has done to his victims. If he won't stop, turn him in. It is the right thing to do.
Yes his future may be bleek but he can only blame himself.

Chances are he will go to prison. After anyone has been convicted of a felony, it is quite difficult to get a decent job. nobody trusts them. They lose their right to vote and cannot possess a firearm. So the punishment continues, long after the sentence is served.

it depends on what his prior record is and how good his attorney is. if he uses a public defender, he will be screwed and probably have a very hard time getting employment. it is a can be a criminal offense, if convicted and most employers will be very cautious of hiring someone with that type of conviction.

Courts are sending 99% of these type of offenders to prison for very long periods of time. Basically the son's life will be over he'll be required to work menial jobs for the rest of his life because of this.
It will be difficult for him and he'll more than likely choose a life of crime rather than leading a productive life
Don't turn him in. Rather have him stop his behavior.

If you turn in your own flesh and blood he will never ever forgive you, if he goes to prison, he may come out hardned and well educated in the ways of crime, as well as he may want to be your daughter.
