A son was doing crack and there was a warrant out for his arrest. As soon as the mother found out the guy was dealing and smoking crack, she phoned in the warrant to the sheriff's department to have him picked up. What is your opinion on this?????

The mother must believe in doing the right thing. I think she did the right thing. I mean, your child should learn that if they are going to do the crime, they are doing the time. It's not every mothers dream to send her son/daughter to jail... but, she had to do it.

Dear Upset,
This is a situation that rips your heart to pieces. I know because I have been there, but not with drugs, it was a different situation, and a younger son. Mom did/should do/ the right thing. Maybe this situation prevents the problem from escalating. Crack is a horrid horrid thing. I have seen it rip families limb from limb, it kills people in the sense that they no longer are who they once were before. Please know that prevention is best, and stopping it once it starts can be a long string of relapses, whoever you are referring to needs to be persistant, and needs to decide now not to stop loving the user. Breaking that addiction is a difficult one.

1- The kid would probably get help, such as rehab, that she may not be able to force him to go to.
2- She would be protecting members of society by taking both the son doing crack and the people he supplies off the street.

It took a lot of guts for her to do this, but her son was doing and deal crack he need to be arrested. I think that it is fine that she did this, she know he was doing something wrong and maybe now he can be punished for it and then get some help and not do it any more.

I think the answerer that blames the mom for poor parenting fails to realize that sometimes, no matter how hard you push values onto a person (even a child), they will have their own ideas and their own ways of doing things... illegal or not. If I had my family's values, then I would be a bigot. But I'm not, b/c I can think for myself and I have free will. I do admit that a lot of people are bad parents nowadays, but it's not always the case.
Congrats to the mom for doing what's best for everybody.

I'd say she did the right thing. Maybe nothing else was working, so she did it. I'm sure it was hard to do, but it will definitely be an eye opener for the son. And when he gets out, he will have a whole new outlook. I know I have a lot more respect for her than I have for the moms who hire an attorney to get the kid off on a technicality.

It may have been her last resort at trying to save her son. I'm sure it wasn't the easiest decision to make but it must have been needed to get her son the help he is going to need to straighten up his life. I'm sure she did it for his own good. I applaud her for having the strength to do what she did and I wish her and her son all the best and hope that her son will see that what she did was out of love. Tough Love, it's not easy and hopefully it will work out for them both.

I think she's a wonderful mother. I would probably do the same thing. It's known as "tough love". Have you not heard of that? What kind of mother would sit back or play mah jongg upon hearing such a thing about her son? In my opinion, she wouldn't be much of a mother if she were complacent about her child doing crack and dealing. I would let the little bastard sit it out in jail too, if it were me. Well, you asked.

In my opinion she would be a very good mother. Some people try to get their children out of trouble. This action usually ends by the child being a repeat offender. He now has a chance. Whether he will want to straighten up is another story. At least he has the opportunity.

a very loving mother!!! lets say that your son went to grocery store, took out a gun, and killed people. that is a massive cry for help, and trust me, if your son did some thing like that, you'd want to get him help too! besides, NO BODY is above the law, family or not.
