A power of attorney is for health care or financial matters and only comes into play when the person is unable to handle the matters themselves. An attorney can plead for someone but not their parent. Your son will have to hire an attorney or will have to make the trip home for the court date.

Yes, Laughter is right. Only a licensed attorney can appear on behalf of your son in court.
