Missed Court Date

criminal defense attorney Mississippi Oct 28, 2026
Hi, I read the rules but I am kind of freaking out, so sorry if this question has already been asked & i somehow missed it. Basically, i’m 18F and i got my first speeding ticket for the first time. My parents took it from me, so naturally i assumed they would remind me of when the court date was, but i put too much faith in them & they never reminded me. Nor do I know where the ticket is, though I could probably find it if I looked. i do acknowledge it was my responsibility to keep up with it. But..hopefully you can understand my point of view. The court date was about 12-13 days ago, give or take. Honestly, I think they want me to go to jail? They’ve always been abusive and neglectful by definition. I’ve been bringing it up to my mom relentlessly and she’s been blatantly ignoring me. She won’t tell me what I need to do. Please someone help me, what do i do? Location: Mississippi/U.S. . please let me know if i didnt add the right flair. thank you.
