    Default Repeated Drug Test Failures While on Probation

    My question is a 17 yr old received defferred prosecution in nc, but was able to have it transferred to va. however the youth completed all community service hours, all fines paid in full but has not passed any drug screenings at all. va has forward all the youths information back to the nc due to failure of drug screenings and a few missed color code screenings. the youth has done well over all in va verses nc....started back going to school daily (which was not a big concern for the youth in the beginning), making passing grades, participating in school sports and has not placed oneself into any trouble at all. but now that the va has somewhat violated the youth, due to not passing any drug screening, and now having the youth to return to nc, what should be expected next? is it possible that the youth will be able to attend recovery treatments in patient or outpatient? the youth needs help with the marijuana addictions. incarceration is not the answer. the youth is determine to graduate from high school, wants to move forward to college and wants help with the addiction. please help

    You are kidding right? No one is going to buy your story. If you had an addiction you should have entered treatment a long time ago. You are soooo toast. Whining for leniency now is like shutting the barn door after the animals ran away. You are going to be wasting your time going to college with this hanging over your head. You had your chance. You blew it majorly.

    The youth will need to consult a lawyer with the details of the case. Assuming this is a juvenile court case, the court's emphasis is more likely to be on trying to get the youth to rehabilitate himself as opposed to the imposition of punishment.
