Re: General rules of probation

Genrally probation does not allow the probationer to leave the state and often the county without consent of the probation officer. The charges for which he was convicted are also important. If the conviction is for a felony your son faces possible confinment in prison.

Depending on the circumstances the stepmother could be exposed to possible criminal charges for concealing a criminal.
