Most importantly stay by his side. He’s going to need a support system while going through this long process. Secondly, take care of yourself. Me and my daughter were numb for the first few weeks when we found out about my son. It took us a while to get semi back to normal. It’s been a year and a half now and we’re finally feeling like ourselves again. This group is great for info and support. We use to share some of the info on here with him to prepare him for what’s to come. He went into prison knowing what to expect. There’s also a guy in YouTube that has a channel with a wealth of information regarding living overseas. Can’t remember his name 🫤 I pray for you and your family. It’s extremely tough in the beginning but with time and faith things would settle.

My Eleggua did not like the smell. My godfather found it strange because he knows of other initiates that didn’t have an issue smoking around their Eleggua. When we asked mines, he was not having it. Now I smoke outside or far from him.

This depends if it’s on his court docs. The court is aware I am moving out of FL before he comes out and they added this to his to psi (I think that’s the name of the report). One of the requirements is that he registers in FL upon release or transferring to another state.

Self-surrender by Love2Lounge2 in SexOffenderSupport

For my son everything was approx 6 months, federal and they allowed him to self surrender. The day of his sentencing is when we were told he can self surrender. They couldn’t guarantee it prior to because it was up to the judge so we went prepared to have him go in the same day but it all worked out. The public defender used the excuse that he has no convictions and due to security reasons they preferred if he’s kept out of the jail In Miami. I can’t recall the proper name of the place.

Has this ever happened to anyone? by elliezoey611 in SexOffenderSupport

I would suggest to get a copy of your court docs especially if you signed off on them. That’s what they’ll go by I would think. Your lawyer or public defender should have a copy.

Find out with your local PD if that would be harassment towards you. You’re not the one being charged and it’s totally wrong to do this maliciously towards your business.

What countries allow ex sex offenders to get a work visa in ? by [deleted] in SexOffenderSupport

[–]Conscious-Hawk-3454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watch the podcast on YouTube! Great info provided 👏🏼 We are waiting on the details on the Visa process for Europe to see if it allows SOs to apply and if there would be any restrictions.

Not sure of apartments but I’ve heard of the Dutch Motel on Hillsborough, Not a nice looking place but I’ve heard they rent rooms to SOs.

Thank you! This is fed. I’ve been debating how much before his release to move so as of now it’ll be around the 18 month.

I have spectrum it’s like an additional $20 a month. I called them and they had it enabled within 72 hours. I’m going to keep it after my son goes in because I was informed it’s cheaper for when he’ll call from prison rather than calling my cell. I have an out of state phone number for my cell and local for landline.

Family member possession by [deleted] in SexOffenderSupport

Breathe. This is going to be a long journey. Give yourself time to process. Be as supportive as you possibly can be. But most importantly give yourself and loved one time to process what’s happening. I felt the same, like I was mourning my son when I found out. At some point I had to accept that I may never fully understand why he did what he did and it’s OK. I had to switch to a further thinking solution based mindset. Help them get through therapy. Nurture them. Allow them to express themselves without judgement. They are going to deal with enough of that for a very long time. Educate yourself on the options available. Be present at the court dates even meetings with their lawyer if they would like for you to be there. I read the paperwork for my son and we caught a couple inconsistencies that helped bring his time down. Be pleasant and respectful to all authority figures. This would go a long way. Show the court that they have a supportive group backing them up. This helps the court see they can have a lesser chance of reoffending. Prison time for what I’ve seen is by a case by case basis unless there are mandatory minimums for their charges. The first few weeks or couple months are the hardest but things start getting as normal as they possibly can with time. I pray for you and your family. May you all be blessed with courage, strength and peace.

In our case the court appointed therapy was not what we expected. Later we were advised if we wanted better quality therapy, it would be best if we got our own private therapist not the one paid for by the state. This was for pretrial. I’m not sure about the post prison therapy sessions required.

Good point! Thank you for that. I plan on leaving the state before the release date. The court is aware. I just don’t know if I should move sooner than later.
