Re: Absconded

Your daughter is facing jail time on a violation of probation. She would have been eligible to expunge her record soon, but she messed that up by leaving without permission from the judge. Her first offender probation will now be permanently on her record as a conviction. Your daughter should have thought about the consequences before she left.
