You've done the right thing, and I'll tell you why. Because these "kids" are old enough to start learning the lesson of "you are responsible for your choices". It is a fundamental tenet of Wicca, and the primary reason why I am Wiccan.
No one held psychogothchick down and forced these tattoos on her. No one forced her to adopt a lifestyle which entails cultivating a physical appearance that most normal people (normal people being the ones who hand out gainful employment) shun. No one kidnapped your boy and put him on a plane at gunpoint.
It would be different if your son was medically infirm or had been involved in an accident. It would be different if he'd called up and and said "Mom, I need to come home and get my head on straight...I'm confused and I need your help and support." Just asking for money to continue being able to support what have apparently proven to be poor choices is not kosher.
Seriously, you'll be doing them all a favor once they make the connection between outcome and personal choice.
