Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay I'm taking your word for it I can blow off steam. If I don't I'm going to walk in front of a bus. I took my son to visit my sister last year and my nephew stole my sisters pain pills and passed them out on the request of one of his friends. My sister called the police on her son and because my son dresses goth and we were in a hick town in Wisconsin, they arrested my son just because he looked different. He was 17 years old, a minor in my state. They charge 17 year olds as adults and gave him to adult felonies. I became sick during the second court date and then when I was well enough to drive that many hours, my son was too afraid to go and he's bigger then me so I couldn't make him. A week later he got stopped for walking after midnight and ran when they were going to arrest him for the warrant he got for not going to court. They put him in jail with older men used to jail and a lot of the men kept telling him they thought he was gay and they were going to do things to him. He was terrified so we paid a bail bondsman to get him out. Then we went straight to the other state and he turned himself in. They set bail and when we went to pay the bail we found out that they didn't have bondman in that state and that we would need the whole amount. We didn't have it. The next day a public defender went to court with him and got it cut in half. We were able to get that and so we paid them. My son was dressed and ready to walk out of the jail and they said wait a minute you need to get another bail paid they supposedly didn't know about. So they took all my money and then still didn't let him out. He was so upset that he had been about to walk out the door and then they treated him like he was new and redid the shower thing and whatever else they do to humiliate a human being when they are being processed. When I called them on it they said they didn't know there was another bail and I couldn't get my money back. His cousin told them everything was his fault and was in jail for five days and given probation and community service. Last year! All of this just because he was dressed differently then the rednecks there! We don't know if they are going to ruin his life just because I visited my sister or whether they are messing with him and us or trying to extort more money that we don't have or what. He broke down crying tonight and I can't be there to help him. He's always been a happy kid and now ... my heart is breaking for him. I'm sitting here next to the phone getting charged about $10 a call just so he can talk to someone when they let him call. My bank account is gone, I have to go to work to be able to pay the rent and I'm ready to go completely nuts. I've taken down the attorney general's address and govenor's address and will get tv and radio stations and I will splash their predjudice and misjustice across the world if anything happens to him. But by then it would be too late, wouldn't it? I was playing with Gaia because my son and friends showed it to me and it was a good way to veg out after working so much all the time to make ends meet. So here I am trying to get thru another night alone worrying about whether they are going to hurt my son or not. I want to scream long and hard but would probably would scare the neighbors, so it's whiskey and chocolate cake to calm me down tonight. I'm not a drinker so I've got thru about a third of my drink over the past two hours, but the piece of cake is gone. Chocolate is the only thing I could think of that might work like a anti-depressant. Now if I can only sleep tonight so I can make thru work tomorrow and hopefully hear from my son's lawyer. Thanks for the place to get this off my chest.

Thanks for letting blow off steam. But enough of that I need to cheer up and get over it so I can function better. Thanks again! God bless.
