Oh, well I apologize for that. ![]()
Im at Lake Anna State Park⦠how is everyone?
Iām alright, sort of. You?
Yeah sorry bout your dad⦠Iām doing good (wish we had a boat) lol we are cooking at the park later weāll go hiking⦠oh no attack of the hornets! lol
Iām okay, just flustered. Iām not even mad at my dad, just someoneā¦
You just insulted your dad and now you say youāre not mad at him? How could you not be mad at him with the things you said he did? ![]()
Ditto ![]()
Iām upset, but Iām trying to get over it. Besides, heās going to Alcoholic meetings. I hope he can get well, and for my sake, I hope my parents divorce. I hate to say that, especially since everyone who has divorced parents hates it, but I want to live alone with my mom and sibs.
Iād be furious and wouldnāt exempt him ever. No matter what. What you stated was a very formidable issue. My father is a police officer and my mother has been to rehabilitation services. What you said he almost did to you does not put him in AA meetings. Not one bit. Besides, for it to āclear upā you would have needed to go to several court dates. For you, it seems it cleared up overnight. You told someone in your family and obviously the police department now know about him because you said you were almost separated. If a father tries to do that to their child, they end up in jail for a really long time, no matter what. Also, they are taken away from their child as soon as possible. I canāt imagine it being much different at all in any other state. ![]()
Iām not trying to cause trouble, Iām just sharing whatās happening. Heās going through those meetings, and theyāre putting him through some Psychiatric āhelpā. Heās an Alcoholic, and I think(my family disagrees) heās a [spoil]sexual[/spoil] addict. I donāt want to live with him again, but Mom says I wonāt have to.
I never said you were trying to cause trouble. Iām just saying, none of that happens with this type of situation. You canāt tell me that it does because Iāve experienced a mother, addicted to drugs and alcohol, so I know what comes with being addicted to something because my whole family sat with the meeting with her; and my father, who is the one feeding this information to me. If a father, or mother, does anything like this, they go to jail and they are taken from the family. This is a long process along with any other type of law issues. Nothing happens overnight, as you made it seem.
The social worker determined that since I wasnāt ārapedā, my dad wasnāt āguiltyā. He interviewed me, my siblings, my mom, and my male parental unit. They also determined that since he is mentally unhealthy he needs help, not punishment. I donāt understand the legalities of [spoil]molestation[/spoil], Iām just sharing what Iāve been informed of.
EDIT: Iām sorry I said the trouble thing, looking back it doesnāt make sense. I just felt like I was making you guys mad or something, and that was my twisted excuse of an apology.
Well, if what youāre saying is true and thatās how your state handles it, then you must be on heavy probation because an officer of the law will not just dismiss a case like this with help. They would watch the family and make sure youāre safe. Since you never mentioned that, Iām assuming that isnāt being done. Which if thatās the case, then your legal system is missing something. You may not have been raped, but he almost raped you which does make him guilty. Who you told, is now a witness and cannot change his or her story. Which now makes he or she partial evidence to your claims. Mentally unhealthy or not, if someone does something wrong, they still get punished.
If someone has a form of retardation and shoots and kills a person, they still get put in jail for life. Thatās even if they didnāt know they did it.
Something isnāt adding up. ![]()
Well, govāt. people regularly randomly show up and check on my family, if thatās what you mean. My dad canāt be alone in a room with me or my siblings, and he canāt be at our house overnight. He sleeps at his momās house.
Interesting. Very interesting.
What I said before was a trick statement. In order for probation to occur you would need to have court dates which you never said you had. So you just lied to me. Probation isnāt even used for this type of situation and I quote:
In most jurisdictions, probation is a sentencing option for misdemeanors and many felonies (these are commonly called āprobationableā offenses), but not for higher-order felonies, such as capital crimes, forcible rape, and many others.
You said you were almost raped, but it still counts for a court to settle your claim. You never said you went.
EDIT: You also made it sound that it was cleared pretty fast which is, by fact, impossible.
EDIT 2: Unless, this was a small claims court which it isnāt small claims at all.
No, we were never called to court, but the social worker(Ron, I thinkā¦) said that my dad would have to fight to still be able to see us in court. I think Ron doesnāt see my dad as a threat, which is nuts, but I could be wrong. Iām sorry Iām confusing you, but I donāt understand the legal system, so Iām just trying to tell you what I was told. I donāt understand how these things work. Iām not arguing, just trying to share. If this is being handled improperly, thatās Tennesseeās fault, not mine. Iām confused, too, but I donāt know all the laws. ![]()
I obviously said a false statement a few posts back saying that you must be on probation. You said you were. That canāt be because you never went to court.
Besides, not one thing in the post you just wrote has to do with anything I said in my last post.
EDIT: The way youāre explaining things makes your state seem very unprofessional, which I doubt.
Iām sorry for that. This whole thing is very confusing for me, and Iām just explaining the situation to the best of my limited legal ability. I donāt know what to say, except a list of punishments he and my mom are getting, and the warning that my mom recieved. If you have specific questions, PM me and Iāll try to see if my mom can explain better. This is the first time someoneās reported him or anyone I know personally for anything, so Iām very new to this process.
Virginiaā¦nothing of what you said would happen within two daysā¦you donāt have to have much law knowledge to figure that out.
The law was contacted on Wednesday. I donāt understand. Are you saying Iām lying, or that Ron did something wrong? Again, not trying to upset anyone, I just really donāt understand. Itās his call, so he got to decide. We were given a 3-day span to decide my dadās punishment, but he chose in 2. I donāt understand how thatās bad. The psychologist(not Ron) interviewed almost the whole extended family in this state.
