Re: Can i loose my job?
You can be fired for no reason or any reason, as long as it's not an illegal reason such as discrimination. If you don't use your position to help your son, perhaps there won't be repercussions against you. Not being there, I cannot say. Perhaps they don't know of your relationship.
Do you think it's just a coincidence that he stole from the same company for which you work? Some kind of counseling might be a good idea.
