Introduction
What do you do if you are a parent or guardian who has discovered that your child has been arrested and needs you to bail him or her out of jail ? Do you know what is required to be done in such an emotional and challenging time ? The first and foremost thing to do is get the assistance of a professional bail bonds company. Yes, hiring a bail bond agent can be a confusing and nervous experience. But, if your teenager or young adult has been arrested, you will have to reach out and help them in the quickest way possible.
We know you may feel lost and confused about the bail bond system and hence helping you sort through the process and getting your child or loved one out of jail is our priority at kind bail bonds.
Why should you bail your child ?
At the onset it is for sure that many parents would have told their children that if they get arrested and go to jail, then they will not bail them out. Some children would have been told that if they end up in jail, they should be prepared to spend the night in lockup. However, spending a night in jail is undoubtedly one of the most stressful experiences anyone could ever experience. Jail is definitely not a fun experience, and it can be extremely dangerous. Jails are definitely not like the Mayberry jail, depicted on tv and in movies. Not even close. If your child is arrested in the Las Vegas area and not bailed out quickly, then they may be transported to another facility in the area. Believe us when we say, this is not a place you would want your loved one to be in. There is nothing fun about jail.
Depending on the location of arrest, your young adult may or may not end up in a violent jail facility. Chances are, if they were arrested by a smaller police agency and not bailed out, they may be transferred to a larger jail facility pretty quickly. Then they are processed and booked all over again.
How much does a bail cost ?
As mentioned above since bail is typically set at an amount which is far more than the average person can afford, defendants are usually financial incapable of coming up with the full bail amount. This leaves the defendant with two options. They can remain in jail until their trial or they can hire a bail bondsman who will provide the jail with a bail bond which is equivalent to the full bail amount.
What should a parent do ?
We truly understand that you want to make the right decision for your child and for any situation they may find themselves in but having them sit in jail is not essentially the best way to teach them a lesson. As what may seem as just one night in jail may even turn out to be days too. Sometimes, children do mistakes and make bad choices, and having them go through the legal process itself should be enough to teach them a lesson. Experiencing the arrest and going through the booking process may be sufficient enough to cause your child to think twice before putting themselves in a situation where an arrest may occur in future.
When contacting a bail bondsman, be ready to answer some personal questions about your child and yourself. This might be necessary to begin the jail release process. Lightning Bail agents accept cash, credit cards and may offer other flexible payment options. So in the event of you receiving a phone call in the middle of the night that your child has been arrested, do your best not to panic or get stressed out and contact Lightning Bail Bonds at (702)333-2663. You will be glad you did!
