The cop was surprised of my answer, Now a days younger generation no longer have respect?

[Alwayreckles93]

I did the hardest thing. My younger sister got herself into a huge mess of trouble. I was very angry at her I grab the belt and wiped her. She was drunk her a few friends and her boyfriend were driving while intoxicated and they destroyed a property. A lot you will called me a monster. But my sister not only did she destroyed her car she crash onto someone else house. Lucky no one was inside. The police officer spoke to me after dealing with my sister the police officer ask me if I wanted to get in contact with an attorney. I told the police officer No thank you if my sister is responsible of all the damaged in that property lock her up she needs to learn a lesson officer how I will not be paying for her mistakes and that she will have to work and pay the damaged that she made in that house. The police officer look superised and told me you know someone your age would have called and attorney and make excuse for the behavior, He told me I was making a good choice in teaching My sister a lesson. My sister hates me now for not getting her an attorney, Honestly she isn't appreciate of the things I do for her paying her college tuition and got her a car paying her phone yet I found out she wasn't even going to get classes. Was I to hard on her?

[Changiis07]

No, I think she is used to getting a lot of things. It's something that could have ended her life or someone else's. Plus it was someone's property so you did the right thing. She needs to learn the hard way otherwise it would be like anything else there are no consequences to her actions. It's called tough love because you love them but they need to be taught a lesson

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes I think so too. It hurts but she needs to learn her lesson.

LOOK I am NOT an attorney so this is just thinking out loud. Did the policemen give you a card. If not police report should have it.
If you and sister are still communicating then try to sit down and work through Process. If she’s not employed it would be helpful to get job asap. If insurance does not pay for house and car then figure out a theoretical payment amount. Line item
-pay house fix 200 month etc…

Have proof of job and “gotta pay fix” line items on your person. Make appointment or call cop with Docs. Show him, can you do anything for us with the judge? If you are sort of organized he will likely speak to the DA on your behalf.
You’ll need to check but these acts could be difference between lesser Judgment sentence…If employed could be supervised probation-she’s got to be able to work so she can do right thing.

I’m not certain

[Alwayreckles93]

I'm sorry but my sister needs to learn her lesson she's locked up and she will remain inside until judge decide I am not paying for her mistakes.

[Guy13]

Alright. I was just thinking out loud. Best in everything...

[OlderAndWiser]

You responded very appropriately for a substitute parent.

[Sour-rose]

Yes... but shiii, sounds like she needed it. You gotta feel some burn in life when you think the nice ice cream lady only serves ice cream... then you find out she had enough and splashes a boiling hot cup of coffee in your face. Gotta realize what you have sometimes is not for granted

[Rangers]

No, you did the right thing and a public defender will represent her at no cost to her

[WhiteBoyChill]

Unbelievable. You end up doing all these nice things for her and she is still a selfish brat

[SaoirseS]

Where are the parents in all this?

[fonduegirl]

Respect must be earned
