Son in trouble witht he law
I need some advice and info on this: my son is or was introuble with a vop and failure to appear and now he had a spat with his ex and she hit him and he hit back. she called police and he is running and hiding, He called to tell me this and to let me know she busted my cell phone but he is hiding. The interenet states the only case I can find is a reopened inactive one and that his lawyer has removed from it. What does this mean and what can I do ?

I agree with Darby. He needs to turn himself in. Running just makes him look that much more guilty.
He may have to do a little jail time, he may just be fined. He will be in trouble for sure, but not near as much as running will get him.
I'm not 100% sure I understand your meaning about the lawyer either. It looks like he will probably have to get a new one. Since he didn't appear and basically left his lawyer looking like an idiot, he probably dropped him as a client, or "removed" himself from the case.
All you can do is encourage him to turn himself in so as to avoid worse trouble. Probably wouldn't hurt to give him a lecture about taking responsibility for his actions, good or bad.

I don't really know what your last statement is saying. If you clarify, I will edit and answer to the best of my ability.
As far as your son running and hiding from the cops, never a good idea. He's going to get in trouble anyway because he failed to appear in court. Now that he's hiding and running away, he might get in trouble for resisting arrest or something of the sort. He needs to go turn himself in for both things. He can also file a statement saying that his ex hit him as well. The courts are not going to look kindly at him hitting her back, however, because he is a boy and she is a girl. But it will look a lot better than her going there saying he hit her, and him running and hiding when he has a warrant out (which is what you get when you fail to appear in court)
