Description

For ADHD youth, impulsive behaviors can get them into trouble with the legal system. Michael Kelly, Criminal Defense and Family Law Attorney at Kelly and Kelly, PC, will discuss how to best avoid this trouble and what to do if we and our youth need help, especially highlighting issues pertaining to youth with ADHD.

Topics include:
• What if I give away or sell my ADD meds?
• Should I report my teen to the police to teach him a lesson?
• What does having a record mean?
• What about underage sex and the law in Michigan?
• What about Internet trouble--social media, porn, cyber bullying?
• Do scared straight programs work? Are there prevention programs that work?
• What should I do if I get into a car accident?
• What do I do and how should I act if I get stopped by the police?
• What are the stats regarding ADHD and incarceration, accidents, drug and alcohol abuse?

This event is cosponsored by AADL and Children and Adults with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) of Washtenaw County.
