So my Godson is all of 17. So far this year he's been busted producing codeine laced sprite, AKA "Purple Drank", in his locker with a friend. Supposedly they weren't selling it, but there were a few purchases that made his mom suspicious. Anyways he got suspended and got hit with a stiff fine. His parents sold off his gaming consoles to pay off the fine. But the timing of the suspension coupled with some bad grade issues has screwed up his chances of graduating on time.

Now he has a 14 year old girlfriend. The girlfriends mom is a single mom, and also 100% a drama queen. So lets call her Queen. Neither Queen nor Godson's parents approve of the relationship. Godson's parents grounded him, but naturally this just added some spice to things. The Godson snuck out one night, proceeded to sneak into her place, and then banged her. They then started sexting on the regular. Godson was trying to sneak out a second time when he got caught and that's when his dad went through his phone. So at this point, trying to tell him that when and if Queen figures any of this out he's liable to be in hot water with the cops is just bouncing right off his skull. His mom's looking at sending him to military school to finish up. Another option in the offing was to send him to his grandparents several hours south, and have him finish classes via a distance learning program.

I'm actually for the military academy option, because I feel like it might force some structure on him for at least two years, and he'd be a few hours away from the present situation.

Thoughts on this?
