Tomorrow I have to go in front of the Arkansas Parole Board at a crime victim's hearing to try to get my ex's parol denied. I know I've told the story here, of how he beat my son when he was 7 months old, etc., etc. Well last January, I spoke to the board, and he was denied for his first parole. Now, he's up again, and I have to do it again. I'm insanely nervous, as I don't do public speaking well. And I"m sure I will cry, because it brings up painful memories of course. I hate crying in front of people. I'm just really nervous, and hope his parole is denied again. He only got 5 years, and I want him to have to serve all of it. There needs to be justice for all the little children who are beaten by adults.
OMG, Jojo, I had no idea you'd been through such hell. You have all of my positive energy and good vibes. Don't be afraid to cry, because you've earned the right the be emotional over this. Keep us posted, and best of luck!
Forget jail.....he should be hung upside down with all his skin stripped of and dipped into a vat of fresh rubbing alcohol!! You have all my positive thoughts Jojo and he has all the negative ones!!
Jojo, my dear we have you in our thoughts over here. I know you will do well. Nothing gets through to people like a mother's love and you have plenty of that. While I know you don't want to start crying in front of these strangers, at least it's coming from a real place, and they will know that too. I hope this ass gets exactly what my old managers ex got while in jail. Apparently when he'd show up for all of the court dates to revoke his parental rights he had a very long pinky finger nail (lol she had to explain to me what that meant).
I'm so glad the hearing is over. I kept it short, sweet, but full of tears. It was a little nervous, but thanks to a little herbal advice from one of you, I handled it better than I thought I would. And kris, I did just that and focused on the one board member who actually showed interest.
My mother told I broke her heart while I was speaking, and she hopes I broke theirs too. I have my fingers crossed, and hope that my telling them of Jackson's permanent brain damage will have them keep him in at least another year. One of my main points was how heartbreaking it was for my five year old to come home from school and tell me how Leilana or Cody or someone else refused to his friend becuase of how he acted, behavior that he cannot control.
I will find out the results of their vote on Jan. 16. Good thoughts and vibes are still needed. Thanks for all of them thus far.
hey with any hope, he will get into some kind of prison brawl and someone will either kill him or he will kill someone else and wind up in prison forever....My fingers are crossed and prayers are with you Jojo
Jojo, I'll keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer that our judicial system has some sanity! You just keep on loving that little guy of yours, love and understanding are the ultimate cures.
You have all my positive thoughts Jojo and he has all the negative ones!!
She's a jealous girl but still sexy as ever!
