Pixarteers Thread!

Oh, well I apologize for that. :frowning:

Im at Lake Anna State Park… how is everyone?

I’m alright, sort of. You?

Yeah sorry bout your dad… I’m doing good (wish we had a boat) lol we are cooking at the park later we’ll go hiking… oh no attack of the hornets! lol

I’m okay, just flustered. I’m not even mad at my dad, just someone…

You just insulted your dad and now you say you’re not mad at him? How could you not be mad at him with the things you said he did? :confused:

Ditto :confused:

I’m upset, but I’m trying to get over it. Besides, he’s 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.

I’d be furious and wouldn’t 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 ā€œclear 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 can’t imagine it being much different at all in any other state. :confused:

I’m not trying to cause trouble, I’m just sharing what’s happening. He’s going through those meetings, and they’re putting him through some Psychiatric ā€œhelpā€. He’s an Alcoholic, and I think(my family disagrees) he’s a [spoil]sexual[/spoil] addict. I don’t want to live with him again, but Mom says I won’t have to.

I never said you were trying to cause trouble. I’m just saying, none of that happens with this type of situation. You can’t tell me that it does because I’ve 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 wasn’t ā€œrapedā€, my dad wasn’t ā€œguiltyā€. 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 don’t understand the legalities of [spoil]molestation[/spoil], I’m just sharing what I’ve been informed of.

EDIT: I’m sorry I said the trouble thing, looking back it doesn’t 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 you’re saying is true and that’s 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 you’re safe. Since you never mentioned that, I’m assuming that isn’t being done. Which if that’s 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. That’s even if they didn’t know they did it.

Something isn’t adding up. :confused:

Well, gov’t. people regularly randomly show up and check on my family, if that’s what you mean. My dad can’t be alone in a room with me or my siblings, and he can’t be at our house overnight. He sleeps at his mom’s 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 isn’t 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 ā€œprobationableā€ 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 isn’t small claims at all.

No, we were never called to court, but the social worker(Ron, I think…) said that my dad would have to fight to still be able to see us in court. I think Ron doesn’t see my dad as a threat, which is nuts, but I could be wrong. I’m sorry I’m confusing you, but I don’t understand the legal system, so I’m just trying to tell you what I was told. I don’t understand how these things work. I’m not arguing, just trying to share. If this is being handled improperly, that’s Tennessee’s fault, not mine. I’m confused, too, but I don’t know all the laws. :blush:

I obviously said a false statement a few posts back saying that you must be on probation. You said you were. That can’t 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 you’re explaining things makes your state seem very unprofessional, which I doubt.

I’m sorry for that. This whole thing is very confusing for me, and I’m just explaining the situation to the best of my limited legal ability. I don’t 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 I’ll try to see if my mom can explain better. This is the first time someone’s reported him or anyone I know personally for anything, so I’m very new to this process.

Virginia…nothing of what you said would happen within two days…you don’t have to have much law knowledge to figure that out.

The law was contacted on Wednesday. I don’t understand. Are you saying I’m lying, or that Ron did something wrong? Again, not trying to upset anyone, I just really don’t understand. It’s his call, so he got to decide. We were given a 3-day span to decide my dad’s punishment, but he chose in 2. I don’t understand how that’s bad. The psychologist(not Ron) interviewed almost the whole extended family in this state.
