this girl that i go to school with has be "F" ing up really bad lately. she has mediocre grades, and she got a DUI at the age of 17. She didn't own the car she was driving, she has NEVER had a licence, and the car was uninsured. She went ahead and bought herself a car anyway, and was driving it for about two weeks without a license, insurance, and without it being registered in her name. well on monday, she took her little sister out to a nearby high school, and she and her sister jumped this little sophomore girl. I mean, they beat her up REALLY bad. and as they were leaving, i guess the girl was on the ground or SOMETHING because this girl told the girl who got beat up "get yo a$$ outta the way, 'fo i run yo' a$$ ova wit my car!!!" well the girl didn't move fast enough, and the girl that was driving ran over the girl's arm with her car. now my peer is being charged with attempted murder, and i wanna know to the girl (she's 17 1/2 yr) will be charged as an adult.

OK, I have problems with this on several levels. For starters, who is stupid enough to sell a car to an underage kid who has no license or insurance? There may be liability on their part should the victim decide to press charges against them as well. As far as your "friend"...first, find a different friend because this one sounds like a thug and is bad news. Secondly, although it may depend on the state where you live, at 17 1/2 she could very likely be charged as an adult, especially considering the fact that she is a repeat offender due to the DUI (and I'll bet money she has a record for other things as well). There are other chargeable offenses here as well...no license, no insurance, unregistered car, and a minimum of assault and battery if the attempted murder charge doesn't stick, though it should- if your account of what happened is true. I would say I wish her luck, but frankly I don't. If what you say is accurate she should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

If you live in Michigan they will.  Michigan has zero tolerance for underage drinking.\n\n\n-I just thought I would update this for all you who have chastised her for drinking and driving.  No where in her question does it say she was driving!!!  If she had been drinking and driving she would have gotten more than just a ticket for minor in possesion.  Some states will take away a minors driving license just for being in possesion of alcohol even when they are not in a vehicle.

Sounds like your girl friend's parents need to take action. Contact the school, push them to do something, AND file criminal charges against him. \n\nResulting to violence only adds oil to the fire. Use your head instead of your fist. I know, it can be very difficult but don't level yourself to his level. Any time a dude hits a girl, is a coward. I'm quite sure he's not going to step to any guy that way. Be smart and push your girlfriend to file charging against his sorry azz.

I can help you out with this one. My now husband did the same thing you did in 1992.  He met a girl that was 10 years younger than he was, had had a past past, abused etc., He married her 6 months later. He gave her a job, an education, a house, a car  etc.  They got into a car accident 5 years later, and got a big settlement for it, ( it was in her name ), so they decided to buy things with it, but she also started to complain that he wasn't doing enough for her, his family wasn't liking her, etc...\nWell one day he came home and she told him to get th ehell out of the house that she didn't want nothing to do with him anymore. \nShe had had enough.  \nShe took him to court, took everything away from him, told people he was beating her up...Believe me she deserved it, but I know my husband he can't kill a fly...\nAnd at the end , he had nothing.  Except his self respect.\nSo my advice to you is get the hell out while you can, because after everything you've done for her, she will grow older want more and finally leave you with nothing.\nThere's someone else in this world that is worthy of your love, so don't waist it on her...\nGive her the booth, but be sure to have all your paperwork , ( money, bank account, receipts ) and everything else in order before you do...\nGood luck

Yeah right call the police. People getting raped and killed, and they're investigating someone who owes you money. Trust me, in most places, the police only respond to violence or serious crime.\n\nMy sister once got taken to court by an old landlord, and he won the case, she has a judgement against her. To this day she hasn't paid him a dime. A judge does not have the physical ability to force someone to do something. It's a matter of that going on their record more than anything.\n\nMy advice is, if it's a lot of money, and you want to pursue it, ask a lawyer what your real options are. Maybe you can look into having his wages garnished or something. But it will involve you continuing to pester them.

They will send a car to the area and they will drive around and see if they see him.  ( exactly how physcially attacked was she will make the difference)  he was merely threatening her, they will not look as hard.\n\nAnd then alot will depend on what size area you live in,  I actually caught a person in Atlanta that had boke into a car and stole a purse ( a felony)  but the police were so busy with armed robbery and a shooting, they took over an hour to come, I could not hold him for that long, so I had to let him go.\n\nso in atlanta, you would be lucky for them to even come over and take a report

Well child I think you need to relax. If you are innocent as charged then all you can do is tell those two girls that you did not tell on them. If you did, apologize to them. Then all you have to do is ignore them. Do not try to get even, it only makes things worse. In my opinion, the average school girl is the meanest and most uncaring person. You have to remember this, as long as you live your life and do things in the right and respectable manner, nobody can tell you otherwise. It is your duty to know the truth about yourself and when others try to pick on you for it, just know that they are ignorant and are only seeking attention, mostly from you. Just ignore them and try to cherish your childhood.

You were in the car, why didn't you just drive away?\n\nYou were charged with a crime because you could've just driven away yet you decided to get out and beat these guys with weapons.  Thats use of excessive force, you're only allowed to defend yourself with the same amount of force that you were attacked with.  If you go to jail you deserve it.\n\nYou couldn't ram a car which is a piece of property???????\n\nWhat world do you live in, this is in no way acceptable behavior.  If you had a car and all of these weapons on you you probably had a cell phone too.  Why didn't you call the cops?\n\nYou didn't drive off because you were afraid of being called a punk, right?  You deserved to go to jail for longer than just 30 days or whatever you said.  \nYou gave a guy brain damage, broke a guys ribs, and left a guy with permanent nerve damage in his arm, what makes you think you aren't liable.

First off, I hope this turns out okay for your daughter and family. I would do a couple things.  I would change all of the phone numbers to be unlisted and put the phone feature on the phones that traces calls.  If he calls and you don't want him doing it then you could press the *?? and  the phone co. trace the calls.  At least that would be proof from the phone company of all the calls.  Second, go to the police and press charges of stalking, harassment or whatever they will be willing to do and also file a restraining order against him and possible his older brother because he is driving.  If he breaks the RO then he could be arrested.  If all else fails, then go find a lawyer, prosecutor or victim advocate that might help your daughter out.\n\nI do have a question for you and maybe its something that you haven't thought about, but why hasn't someone done something about a 14 year old not being in school?  Even though he was kicked out, isn't he supposed to go to an alternative school or somewhere else?  That might be a starting point too.

This is typical of high school and middle school. She isnt going to fight you, or even try. She is telling you she's going to fight you on the last day because everyone will forget about it by next year, and no one will be around after school. This girl is jelous of you, and if she does try to fight you(odds are she won't) stick up for yourself. No matter the consequenses, you always have to defend yourself.

Nope, you should go to jail for the maximum amount of time they can keep you there and loose your driver license for good.  You not only disregarded your own safety but put other innocent lives in danger when you drove drunk.  You obviously disregarded the law since you did this not once, not twice, but three times.  The third time should be the charm.  It seems this is the only way innocent people can be protected from you.  I sorry, but you get no sympathy from me regarding this behavior.

You seem to have more than one question. Let me try to answer it for you. It may not be what you want to hear.\n\nFirst since I do not know what state you are in, I am going to go by the laws in my home state, Kentucky. \n\nThe State has one year to bring charges in a misdemeanor case which applies here. Even though your daughter was not actually driving the car, she was in control of the car. Yes I know, I think it is silly too, but most states have said that if a person is in a automobile even if it is not running, they are in control of that automobile. \n\nThe problem with drugs verses alcohol in a DUI case is that drugs can remain in your system for 30 days or more. Therefore it is very hard to prove that you were actually impaired when the offense took place. \n\nHowever, police can cite "probable cause" based on blood work taken at the time of the incident. \n\nProbably the police aren't saying that she was arrested on 7/25 but that the incident occurred on 7/25. \n\nThis is my advice to you. Get an attorney. He or she should be able to argue that it is impossible to prove that she was impaired because no motor skills tests were given and she had presence of mind to know that she was too sleepy to drive. Meth does not cause a person to be sleepy! The opposite is true. Therefore it would be hard to prove that she was under the influence of meth at the time. \n\nGood luck to you and your daughter.

Yes.\n\nI witnessed an altercation between people in two cars.  One car had a 20-something guy and his mother, and the other had this muscle-head/roid-ragey dude.  The first people pulled to the median after this guy was tailgating them and honking and stuff, and the other guy pulled into a parking lot nearby.  He got out of his car in a rage, ripped off his shirt (he was very muscular and apparently really proud of it), and he went running over to the other car and slammed his hand into the side of it so hard that it put a dent in the metal of the door.  He also reached in and tried to punch the guy inside the car.\nI called the police and reported the incident.  They took a statement from me at the scene.\nMonths later, someone served a subpoena on me (I was going to have to testify about the incident) but then I called back and they said it had been resolved.\n\nI also witnessed a hit-and-run accident involving minimal damage.  I turned around and followed the car that had broken the right-of-way (he ran a red light and got clipped by someone who had the green, but he kept going).  I got his license number, went home and called the local police for that area.  They thanked me and told me that someone had indeed reported being hit there.  I told them what I'd seen and offered to be a witness but they did not end up needing me, apparently.\n\nI'm no snitch, but I don't like it when people do harm to other people, or get all aggro on them, and don't get in trouble for it.  People need to be responsible for their actions, and I have no qualms about telling what I saw when someone does a dickish thing to someone else.\n\n\n-Jeffrey

a few years ago, me and my children were hit head on by a druck driver. me and the kids were okay. only a few cuts and bruises, but she was hurt very bad. my lawyer pressed charges against her, and when she got out of the hosp, she was to turn herself in for booking. well, she told the judge she was going to write us an apology letter and send my kids some toys. he let her off with her word and a slap on the wrist. she never did write us a letter. as a matter of fact i heard thru the grapevine (her boyfriend was the brother of our mortage holder) that she said, "they weren't even hurt that bad." well, how would she know what my children went thru. what i when thru. living the memory evertime we go down that road. she didn't hear my kids screaming and crying. after i woke up, after being knocked out by the air bag, i climbed out the drivers window and i had to walk around her truck to to get to my kids, i looked inside to see if she was dead or what. all she said was get me out of this damn truck. i didn't say anything to her. i just left to go see about my kids. i knew she was drunk or high. never want to go thru that again!
