so I am wondering if the situation with my son qualifies as taking care of a family member who is seriously ill qualifies as I am out of the picture in terms of being able to know what his mental/physical status is due to the arrest. Oh and thank you so much for that link...wonderful resource

It is confidential and between you and your HR department.
