    And, btw, I don't even know why YOU threw your hat in this ring as I was not even commenting to you.

    No worries granny! I won't charge you for my $0.02 worth.

    PS....grannyto3...

    Ever hear of this? It is called an ISP address. May I suggest you go to: www.google.com

    Now....enter the search term "ISP Address"?

    Bet you are shocked when it tells you who your Internet Service Provider is, and the town you live in. What kind of connection you use. And there's a button that also reads "additional IP Details". Sorry, you are not the only one who can view your information.

    Ps...when you get done bitching me out..

    Maybe you should have a talk with your daughter? http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141573

    Get a lawyer. That warrant is going to require it.

    Your first post read:

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

    My daughter (17 at the time, now 18) got caught shoplifting a pair of earrings in February. She received a civil demand for $271. which she is making payments on. The problem is that we had just moved to a temporary place while waiting for her to graduate and then we are relocating to NV because that is where my husband was transferred for work. We already have a home there and she is enrolled in college there. She did tell the officer that and they wrote the paper with the new address. The civil demand letter was mailed to the new address, not forwarded. I did have her name entered into the P.O. to have her mail forwarded to the new address.

    Apparently, the request to appear letter was mailed to the old address and not forwarded so we had no idea about this. She just received the warrant for her arrest two days ago, forwarded to the new address. I contacted a criminal defense atty who said they would contact the detective and get back to me with a price to retain him. I didn't hear anything the next day, so I texted him (his preference for communication) and asked. He replied hours later and said the detective wasn't in and he would try the next day. Still nothing. So, I am assuming he is very busy and quite possibly doesn't have time for this case. Fine.

    Question: Should my daughter (or I) contact the detective and at least let them know we are aware and not ignoring this? I am very concerned that if my daughter gets stopped for a traffic violation they will arrest her. (Ok, as I type this, I just received a text from the atty telling me he is out of town for the weekend and that he will contact me on Tues.) I'm mad now. He tells me that this is important to get the warrant lifted and then bails. I contacted him on Tuesday! I didn't really want to contact the court myself as I figured the atty knows better how to handle this. Any thoughts?

    PS: This makes you look like a wonderful parent/grandma of 3:

    Towards me: "Doesn't surprise me you are from MI as MI has nothing but a bunch of grouchy, ole, nasty people in general."

    your location: "My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan". How ironic.....

    You are just a piece of work. First of all, obviously you love to argue, instead of admitting you were way out of line, which apparently nothing is ever your fault. Take a long look at all your past posts. Good God, woman. You are sue happy, can't keep a man (no surprise), spill it all on a public LAW forum because what?, maybe no friends elsewhere? C'mon. Oh yeah, stealing a $70. dress from Kohls in you MID 30s!!!!! Really? If you really want to blame parents for the assinine acts their children did at 17, WTF about your parents? I didn't go there....YOU DID. And since you did why don't you explain what being a good parent has to do with that. (as the child who CHOSE to steal) Your parents didn't make you do it and I would hope they taught you better. I know I did. What my daughter did was stupid and AS YOU, she regrets it wholeheartedly. I AM, as a good parent, trying to help her get through this with as little hit to her future as possible. She is responsible and she will pay anything back and bear the cross her actions deem. So, smart mouth, where is that bad parenting? You are obviously not a parent and in that case and with the fact that your parents have a daughter who has committed a couple criminal acts, you really have no knowledge of what it takes to parent and that GREAT parents can have children who do STUPID things. So, yeah, pbox, you are once again, way off base.

    Also, pray tell...what is troll about my post? It is no different than your first post, except you were old when you stole and my child is not and she took a pair of earrings and you took a dress (a dress???? Really? Mid 30s? You didn't actually think you could get away with that did you, at your age? Or had you gotten away with it so many times before and this time got caught? Hmm)

    As far as Michiganders, duh...how do you think I know? I just didn't realize it until I moved west and saw the complete difference. MI people are miserable, IN GENERAL. Again, reread your old posts...yeah. Misery.

    All that crap aside, had you been the person you were when you first started in these forums in '09, asking for the same type of advice that I did, you might have answered with the first part of your previous post explaining the IP part as not everyone knows that. Just as not everyone knows what to expect from a first time stealing offense (even in their 30s...you see I am about 7 years older than you and I didn't know because I NEVER did it, I am asking to help my child). As I remember in one of your early posts, you thanked people for being so compassionate, how soon you forget....shame for those of us who are looking for the same answers you did. And I quote:

    Thanks for the reply to both of my questions. I appreciate it.

    I messed up, and just want this whole thing over with. Got an appointment with another lawyer for a consultation, hopefully I can afford his help.

    PS: Additionally - thank you for being compassionate with your answers. 04/09

    Speaking of irony.
