Re: Criminal Neglect

Not sure there's a question here although I can guess at what you are driving at. If the son was 18, I'm not sure why the father would have had to be contacted. I'm also not sure what it would have done if they had anyway. Now if he had some type of mental illness that would have came up had they contacted the father, then that may be a different story.

Bottom line is, I just don't have enough information to help you. If you want, you can call me at 732/247/3340 and we can discuss the case further.

Good luck!
