i need to get rid of my pipe..

yes juv. court, if CPS is involved. That is a long hard process I truly hope that it all works out with you. I am sure it will.

The parenting classes dont help worth a shit. I took a Consider the Children Class when I was going through my divorce, it was trying to teach me how to get along with the ex husband. (like that will ever happen ).

I hope everything goes well with you! What did they charge you with that is a felony? YOu can pm this to me, I work for a family law and criminal law attorney.

 

You should ask your case worker if you can attend AA meetings. Sometimes (at least here) they will allow that as well and will consider that. The tweaker freaks.........yup they are a scary bunch. My secretary was ordered to attend those parenting classes too. She said the same thing you did all it was teaching her was that there were really bad parents out there.

You just really need to make sure you follow through with everything they are asking you to do (which I am sure you are, as I know you love your children very much

 

i'm being charged with child endangerment and child abuse... they'd know my kids aren't abused if they just talked to them.

my 6year old ate a pot brownie back in april and this is what started it all. if i hadn't of been so heavily medicated, deeply depressed, fighting with the welfare people and trying to figure out how to move from where i was.. i KNOW this would have never happened.
the brownies were on the counter.. which to my 'slow at the time' brain told me they were kid friendly... they should have been on top the fridge where not kid friendly foods were kept. innocent mistake that is ruining my kids life and mine... i would never harm my kids.. or any kid for that matter!

i hope the judge sees this too tomorrow and gives me the lightest sentence possible. anything but being locked up.

 

Where are you at in the procedings? Arraignment, Pre-preliminary hearing, motions readiness???? They should have given you an offer if you are past your first appearance. Let me pull up the penal code book and look to see what the sentence is.

 

i have never had a pot brownie
but i bet they are pretty good

 

i've only been to the arraignment.. if it's still a felony after tomorrow we're gonna try and go with a jury trial... from what i've been told by others my public defendant is really good at what he does. he seems very competent.

 

How did they find out your kid eat the brownie ?

 

she ate it before school. she was fine when i dropped her off. i guess she got all sleepy and just weird. she told the school she had taken medicine and they got scared and took her to the ER. the ER did a blood test and she came up positive for THC.
it's basically my fault this all happened. i gave it to her without thinking. since she was fine when i dropped her off, i assumed it didn't affect her any. once i realized my mistake in giving it to her.. i should have kept her home and kept an eye on her, but i didn't. just dumb of me all around.

 

awww, boog. what a SHITTY situation! i know you are really good to your kids... you're such a nice person, and it shows how much you love your kids. you have all my good vibes and happy thoughts for tomorrow! man, the law works in such unfavorable ways sometimes. wasting time and resources taking kids away from loving parents who care for them, and neglecting others who are truly abused. the whole system is so cracked up...

and the thing that really sucks is that you were probably singled out somewhat... or at least watched more closely, penalized more because you were dealing with welfare and such... it's so unfair that the people who need help the most get shit on the most. blech.

big hugs and hopeful vibes coming at you from me and jrnyman... i hope we see you back on here tomorrow, and thursday, and every other day!!

 

thanks.. sadly, i think that if the welfare people had listened to me in the first place, and helped me, i would have never gotten into this situation... oh well too late now.

someday i hope to look back at this and laugh.. and know it was all part of the bigger plan of the universe.

 

I really hope it all works out, you are a good person. You just make a mistake

 

thanks.. hopefully things will go good tomorrow.
