Yup. I don't know anything about what you are posting about, but I will tell you, you didn't "rat" him. This isn't the Mafia, and it isn't prison, it's reality. I'm assuming your son did some pretty gnarly s*it. I'm also assuming you helped him out for as much and as long as you could. Whats right is right, and whats wrong is wrong. If he wants to play the role of a criminal, he needs to realize what the possible penalties are. Your daughter not talking to you, for being a proper human, is very lame. I don't know anything about what is up aside from your first post in this thread, but from what very little info that was provided, that's what I think.
Growing up either hits you slowly like a termite gnawing away on your femer bone over time, till you can't walk right, or fall to either side and then get back up and deal. Or it hits you like a giant wrecking ball and you go down all at once in a giant heap of crappiness. Sounds like the latter is what happened with your son. I'm very sorry it ended up like that, but you more than likely did the right thing.
Maybe after a stint of being in the can, with good behavior, and if he sees the light, and if the newer relaxed military acceptance rules are what they say they are, maybe he can get out very soon and enter the military and learn what life is about properly.
