Elyssa,

This is intolerable, and I will never understand why parents
let their children use their homes for their own personal gain.
So many are arrested here for growing illegal substance (weed)
in backyards.

I pray the police will complete their investigation as soon as
possible. Maybe the grandmother needs their financial
assistance to make ends meet. Not a good idea though because
she doesn't have peace in her own home.

You are a very sweet person. I am sorry you have to be
stressed because you have your daughter to worry about. What
does your bf advise? Wait, and see maybe, huh? I don't know
about procedure in California. Look before you leap. Lafemme
