Alright so last winter I got into some trouble for accompanying my "friend" in stealing some stuff from a kid's open car. I was young and naive at the time and I didn't even think twice about stopping him.
Well my "friend" got caught because he is just..stupid. I find out a few days later that he snitched on me so I got called in at school and the administrators talked to me and some more stuff happened. Well the kid that actually stole the stuff threw the stolen goods away. I was able to retreieve most of them and return them to the owner so the school didn't really punish me in any way. O yea did I mention that the theft took place in school? yea dumb i know... Luckily at that time I was 16 so I couldnt be tried as an adult. The whole thing cooled down after about a week or two with me not having to even go to court and I thought everything was taken care of and things just seemed to die down... (the other guy actually did go to court but idk what happened to him but I still see him at school)
APPARENTLY NOT. I recently got a text message from the guy whos car got broken into and he said that the DA finally got the court papers and that I should have received mail telling me about my court date. His parents decided to file a civil suit on me for wasting his time and causing him to mess up in school (my "friend" actually took his entire backpack too and dumped the papers everywhere).
However, I am enrolled in school under my korean name but I usually go by an american name and nobody really knows me by my real name. But there is another korean kid at my school that is actually enrolled in school as my american name and same last name as mine. So I find out that the court papers have all been sent to him and now the court date is past due.
Alright teamliquid so what should I do? Right now my parents dont have any idea of whats going on and they think that everything has been settled since last winter.
Should I just wait for the court to realize that they have the wrong "me" and just wait for the mail? Or should I tell my parents of whats going on and tell them to contact the DA.
Also apparently the kid whos trying me is selling marijuana and usually picks up at least an ounce...maybe I should just get him fucked? LOL :[
but if i did that I would feel a bit dirty..and hypocritical
what to do?
EDIT: the reason why I might consider waiting the court date out is that I am a weed smoker..haha and the later the court date, the later I get a parole officer (IF i get one that is), which would be a later drug test

Tell your parents and contact the DA, because there's no way to play off you not knowing about the papers now that you got the text message from the guy who's suing you.
Frankly, it's silly for them to be suing you. The bottom line is what really matters here. If the kid was really stupid, he probably wasn't getting good grades anyway and there really isn't a case against you messing him up (particularly because, from what you say, it wasn't you who took the backpack) and if the kid is smart, then his school performance can't be that bad, and thus they don't have a case. Under any circumstance, the school should have done something to help the kid if his papers and stuff went missing, and his performance being affected by such an incident is unlikely. Never underestimate the stupidity of the justice system, however.

I personally agree and think that his parents are taking it a bit too far.. but I did wrong and can't say much
so if I just wait it out and not say shit you think there will be consequences?

WHAT. HOLY FUCK.
I'd go batshit insane! Talk about things going wrong. Oh and I hate snitching people.
I'm on a fever-high so I don't really have any advice for you. No clear thoughts etc.
Hope it all goes down well for you though. Best of luck! + Show Spoiler +Is this another copypasta? I'm fucking paranoid from looking at the current Closed Threads situation.

Definetly tell your parents, that is what they are for. Especially true because they have helped you on this issue before.
If you have evidence that the kid is selling dope, I would definetly release that information (in the right hands) as well.
Lying and trying to avoid problems will not help you. Once this is over you will be a better person for it, regardless of the outcome.

Just do all the right stuff. You didn't really do anything. Can you really get into trouble for not stopping someone from committing a crime?

I actually looked through the trunk of the car but did not take anything from the car itself.. I didn't step foot into the car once but apparently it is still a felony :[

hahaha that made me laugh..well the problem is I don't think just telling someone (cop w/e) that the kid is selling drugs will do me any good... perhaps put me in a worse situation
the only real way I could get him would be to set him up and let the cops find him holding the weight..which would be pretty difficult
I just feel dirty right now

Fuck that kid, fuck being hypocritical, tell on his ass for dealing weed.
You > Him
Don't take the fall because you have a dumb friend. And you should probably tell your parents, but I know how hard this is for most teenagers, especially in this type of situation.

take pictures of the weed selling kid selling weed
blackmail him with it

Yeah, just fuck him over. You got him his shit back and he still acts like a total scumbag, doesn't sound like he's going anywhere in life either. Self preservation, you > him etc.
fuck him

Post about it on the Internet

couldnt he like flip it on me or something and charge me for taking pictures of him/stalking him??

Honestly, I think just bringing up the issue (weed selling) with the kid, person to person is the best idea. Just tell him you have leverage against him and you'd really prefer this shit to stop.

You seem to have a worst case scenario. Here is what you do:
1)Stand up
2)Tell you parents about the DA, mailing error, etc
3)Go back to your room
4)Keep standing
5)Take off your pants
6)Start masturbating furiously
7)Play StarCraft

dont do anything stupid about it, he might get his middle-man on your ass.
if anything, from my complete naivete and lack of legal experience, go talk to the DA about it. DAs are people too.
i feel really bad for that other kid though. lol his parents are probably beating his ass for something he didn't do
